Re: 91 Camaro Z28

A/C won't control the secondary fan if the A/C doesn't bloe cold - the switch is based on pressure - no freon = no pressure = no fan activation.

Secondary fan is also controlled by the fan switch located in the pass side head (NOT block) between #6 and #8 spark plug. Probably need a new switch, or connector.

Your primary fan is controlled by the ECM by means of the CTS located beside the thermostat housing - 2 wires black and yellow. It might be bad as well, if primary fan not operating always.

I'd look at the fan switch and verify the wire connector is good first, then I'd think about getting a new fan switch as well as maybe a new CTS (Coolant Temp Sensor).
