Can I change from a clutch fan to an electric fan?
Is it possible to change my current clutch fan setup to an aftermarket electrical fan system? What do I have to do? I did a search, but I didn't get any useable information.

Yes, you can do that. you could evn use a stock one if you could find one.
You need a temp switch, which ordinarily mounts in the head, you can use a stock one or any other that peels your banana; a relay, which you can get one from GM or elsewhere; and a fan. Hook a large wire from battery to one contact of the relay, and the fan to the other contact so that it gets power when the relay is energized; hook one lead of the relay coil to ignition, and the other lead to the fan switch.
That's all there is to it.
