Do people just remove the fan altogether? I suppose if one lived in a cooler climate and kept an eye on the temps a fan might not be needed. If the temps began to rise it could be mitigated by running the heater full blast.

I used to run the heater in my Volvo in the summer at full blast whenever it would begin to overheat. Would the gain in MPG justify the complete removal of the fan?
