Bypass the cooler fan relay

Aight, still a 87 z28 305 TBI

I suspect the fan relay is fried.
See... eh huge picture below.

Need to use the car for half an hour to pass inspection.

How do I go about to bypass that thing?
Can worry with fixing an new relay later.

So, can i just short-wire two positions and have it run constantly?
If so, which two positions?

should be this badboy.

Yes. They are also a tad sturdier then the other two.

Connect those two and the fan should be running?

I think you jumper the two. Might want to make a fused jumper
