How do I mount an electric cooling fan to an 84 radiator????

I'm in the process of putting in a TPI motor into my 84 Camaro Sport Coupe. The original motor had a belt-driven cooling fan. The TPI motor uses an electric cooling fan which I have. I know how to wire it up, but how should I go about actually mounting the fan? ANY help from anyone would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The stock fan has a mounting bracket, which consists of the part that holds the radiator in place at the top, and then at the bottom is a piece that attaches to the lower part of the radiator support. Both are plastic on my car, I am pretty sure they are all like that. You could make your own brackets to mount it, but the factory stuff for a factory fan would probably be easier.

The factory fan wont work that way unless you put spacers between it and the radiator... so with that in mind, and if you want to space it out...

I hate those zip tie things
