Does anyone have a Flex-A-Lite fan and if so do you notice a difference in performance or anything? I'm thinking of getting one but if there's no noticeable difference I'll stick with the belt driven stock fan. Also when installing one of these electric fans, what happens to the remaining belts and the water pump pulley? Do they stay on or is there some sort of replacement assembly? Thanks

 

I'd go with 2 flex-a-lites. I don't think one will do the job. I could be wrong.

 

Have you or anyone else done this and can offer some insight to the other questions i had?

 

The water pump must stay on the car.Cooling not too effective without it. All you have to do is remove the fan from the pulley. Everything else stays as is. It should give you more horsepower, but don't expect it to snap your head back. (about 10 HP)

 

Over a properly working clutch fan, probably not as much as 10 HP even.

 

I don't think those fans had clutches, but I could be wrong.

 

Yeah it's got a fan clutch. And I wasn't talking about removing the water pump itself i'm wonder what holds the water pump pulley ON since the fan and clutch are mounted to the pulley viw studs and nuts.

 

The water pump pulley is mounted on the same studs as the fan hub.

 

just with the original nuts?

 

Sure, why not?

 

I had to add a washer to each stud for the nuts to sit right

 

good to know... i think everyone else is a little confused as to what i was trying to get at here
