I have this Dual fan radiator from a a/c car that I have been using. The secondary fan doesn't do anything 'cept sit there.( I don't have A/C,it's not hooked up) I'm adding P/S to my '80 wagon and am now trying to bolt on the pump. The aluminum fan is in the way of the pump pully. The aluminum one is the one that is functional. Should I remove the black fan and move the aluminum one into its spot, so I have room for the pump? Or, should I remove the aluminum one all together and wire up the black one? Or, does it really matter? The pump is just laying there not bolted up yet. Any ideas?

 

if the fan isn't being used and never comes on then it certainly won't hurt to remove it and place the other in it's place. nothing beneficial about having a fan that doesn't work or do anything. some older subaru's, non a/c, only have one fan.

Well, I tried to move the aluminum fan over in place of the black fan, but its too wide for that spot. It hits the crank pully. I guess I'll go with the black fan right where it is. Is the black fan adaquite for cooling? It just doesn't seem as hardy as the primary aluminum one.
