Carb fan is like taking a pill to solve a symptom another pill causes. Maybe you dont bolt your intake to your exhaust and you wont need to cool the carb.
 
78 most likely 1st year to have to meet emission requirements for US. Hence all the vacuumm hoses and the lack of air pump and unless its a Cali rig there is no cat converter. My 80 Mini 4x4 had an air pump and vac 🦬💩. No Cat converter, thats all that was required! My 78 Fj40 had all that 🦬💩. So it could be a 78 or above the fan and the Steel Snorkel ars the clue. Both present on the 40 and 55 😉🤔😘
 
After looking at that, I’m not sure that I’ve seen a coolant overflow that looked like that. Thought they were all round and the washer reservoirs were separate with their own mount.(?)
Rectangular overflow tank started in 09/77 but it's still separate from the windshield wiper reservoir.

Unfortunately, for folks living up north, bolting intake to exhaust is necessary so that gasoline powered engines will continue to run well into the sub zero temperatures.

Also why there is shielding around the carb and why most carbs had hot water flowing through their bases. Keeping that ball of heat around the fuel atomization system, which causes a temp drop at the venturi is literally a life and death necessity.

Fuel systems can and will freeze up and there is nothing like the sheer terror of being stranded with a non-operating vehicle at -30 F in a remote location.
 
And just in case you need the bottle and cap:
