Deleting Aux Fan

[Kobe Diesel]

Looking for some advice/input on this matter.
Im in the final stages of completing my head, timing belt, injector, chip, intake project which has taken me sometime (distractions and other business).
In any case, the electric aux fan is no good and neither is the dual temperature switch that plugs into the radiator. I deleted the A/C and all its related components. Therefore, I see no need to have the aux fan, nor the temp sensor.
Unless, the fan and sensor also work to help keep the engine cool in traffic and/or hot weather.
Can the belt driven fan keep up with the heat loads on summer days?
I really dont feel the need to buy a new aux fan ($200+), and I want to get this project finished.
Should I expect error messages with the temp. sensor "out of the loop"?
Any words are greatly appreciated
TIA

The aux fan is only enabled when the A/C is on and it is there to provide additional cooling for the A/C condenser. You can remove it and the condenser.

AND if the engine is getting too hot, the temp sensor in the radiator will turn the fan on.


If you remove it, watch your temps.

Assuming you're running the mechanical fan and fan shroud your car will run plenty cool. I deleted the A/C and fan on my car with no issue.

yeah, with the a/c condensor out, there will be plenty of air hitting the radiator. you wont need that lil aux fan.

Gentlemen - Thank you for all your input.
Yes, the electric fan, condenser, and other crap is out of there, so there should be plenty of air flow. Shroud is in place too.
Again, thanx
