LOL - I pulled the fan off my friend's lowered S-10 with a screwdriver between the bolts to hold the pulley in place... the only reason I needed to use a screwdriver was because he had already taken the fan belt off... you can use a piece of string and a 1/2" drive socket wrench to lock the pulley in place w/ the belt on.

Use the wrench to loosen the tensioner, wrap the fan's belt around the pulley to make max contact and tie it to itself w/ the string. Slowly let the tensioner go, and you won't be able to turn the fan pulley anymore.

You should be able to use an e-fan from most FWD Chevy models... the radiators are all close to the same size, but you may have to strap it on with something instead of bolting it to the correct locations on the fan shrouds.

I'd like to think that people might open their eyes at some point... instead, I find it more and more likely that I'll just close mine.
