I'm new to this and wondered if any one can help with how to install a push electric fan? I have a 85 wagon that I want to remove the airconditioning in and leave the stock pull fan & add another push fan to. I dont know how to wire the new fan in, and how the thermostat for the original fan works as far as tapping into it to run the push fan. Also, is there any problem with the defroster working right if you remove the air conditioning? Thanks, Jeff

See if that helps.

If you remove the AC, you don't need a second fan. Non-AC EA82's don't have mechanical fans.

 

Defrost is purely mechanical - flapper doors and a heater core. The compressor runs to dry the air and to keep the oil circulated in the lines.

Thank you very much! I figured that the air conditioning fan was enough to keep it cool without a manual fan. Does anyone know what the thermostat might be set at for the electric fan for the air? I guess what I'm asking is if I can just remove the mechanical fan along with the air conditioning(condensor, compressor etc relying on the original electric fan"s thermostat to control the tempeture while stopped etc. Jeff
