    The car will run fine without the A/C condenser.

    The engine fan can be replaced with an electric fan. A 16" ran rated for at least 1800cfm will work. If you do it right, the cost of an electric fan conversion is more than all of the parts of the engine driven fan.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

      To remove the mechanical fan, use a large wrench (32mm I think ) on the large nut directly behind it. It is reverse threaded, so right loosy here.

        The fan nut is a b!#ch. I couldn't find a normal wrench that would fit in the tiny space, so I ended making my own long, skinny wrench out of 1/4" steel plate. It wasn't hard, if you get stuck on the nut.
