1990 camaro rs bad fan motor

Well,today I’m dealing with more “fun”. I had errands to run and noticed the temp climbing. Pulled
over and lifted the hood and the electric fan isn’t running. It would always run when I slid the controls to the ac setting. Now nothing. I turned on the ignition and put the slider to ac and tapped the motor housing with a breaker bar and the fan spun slowly,intermittently. So I’m assuming this is a fan motor issue and not the relay.
I’m going to have to work on this in the parking lot. It’s just four bolts to remove the assembly from the radiator right?

Can someone also post a photo of where the fan relay is on a 90 camaro rs 305tbi in case I need to deal with that.

Yup, it's a stupid easy job. So easy I can do it.

4 bolts hold the fan assy to the radiator supports; 1 nut holds the blade on the motor; can't remember how the motor fastens into the mounting assy but it's almost certain to be easy. Might even just clip in.

Relay is near the brake booster. Look for the one that has 4 wires in its connector: Big Red, big blk w/red stripe, small grn w/wht stripe, small pink w/ blk stripe. If you see a tan wire, that's not it, that's the fuel pump.
