I removed the clutching fan from my Subaru, it mounts to the water pump pulley. It didn't hurt balance, and it improved the response of the engine (less inertia & drag at high RPM).

Make sure you add an electric fan and either a thermo-switch, or a manual switch, and pay attention. I found a nice low-profile fan on Summit Racing. Have fun!
