P.S. I've been carrying the fan and wrench needed to re-install it on board ever since I pulled it off a year ago... just in case. Have yet to put it back on.

I have both a clutch fan on the water pump and an electric fan. I've been too lazy to remove the clutch fan since I think I've got to remove the upper radiator shroud, overflow tank and w/s washer tank. Maybe. Maybe I sould go take a look.
Plus there is the $120 36mm Snap-On fan wrench the shop manual says I gotta have.
Is that the one you are still carrying around Frank?
Seriously the wrench thing does remind me of how many of my peers owed their souls to Stan the Snap-On man when I was a mechanic in the late 60s/early 70s.
Craftsman or S-K tools just wouldn't do the job as well.
