There's another fan behind the clutch fan on my 91', would my car overheat if I removed the clutch fan and just used this a/c fan for cooling my koyo radiator? I was thinking to just wire a switch to the a/c fan, but I don't know if it's a good idea.

^^Thanks, but what would happen with the a/c on? I was planning to just wire the a/c fan to a switch and never forget to turn it on...

well the a/c fan probably is not sufficient to cool the radiator at idle, stop and go traffic with the a/c is on. it will overheat and probably shut off your a/c

whats the temp like in saipan? do you go in lots of traffic

I run a lot of SRs with just the auxillary fan cooling the radiator at idle. It works fine, but I rarely have A/C on. Depending on how hot it gets in your area, you may want to get a larger capacity fan.

It's usually 86 deg on Saipan and rarely has a high of 90 deg. summer all year!
