I have thought about doing the fixed fan conversion, but I really notice the drag on the engine when the clutch is engaged. Plus it makes one hell of a racket - I don't think I'd want to cruise around with it on all the time.

I'm thinking of going with an electric fan, or overhauling the clutch mechanism on my fan. Or buying a new one.

My .02$

Edit: You can definitely re/re the fan without taking out the rad. Just remove the four bolts holding the shroud in place, and the 4 nuts holding the fan mechanism in place, and kind of slide them upward together. It's not too hard.
