I'd throw a 180* one in there while you are working on it. Tuning would be best but you'll be ok without it...

I just put that same fan switch in my 89 RS TBI and i love it, my car used to run up above 210* or warmer before the fan would turn on and only cool down a little and shut off, now i dont think my car gets over 200* anytime, its great! i love it and i have a regular thermostat in it!
