Fan Relay Location ?

Hey guys, on my 89 5.7 GTA where are the fan relays located? I have dual fans. Are they next to the master cylinder? I want to be sure, because I am going to replace them. I don't want to get the wrong ones, or change the wrong ones. I Just figured I would change them for a little peace of mind, and for $8.50 a piece for AC Delco's, that isn't going to break me.
Thanks!!
Mike

Up by the battery on my IROC (pass. side), the ones next to the M/C are the FP Relay, MAF Power and MAF Burnoff.

Yes, I have dual fans. Lok up near the radiator support and front of the fender on the pass side...thing is my IROC has the battery there...one relay is in the front of the battery, other is on the fender area..again, pass side...look for two relays that have the same p/n.

But alas, if we keep bumping this post up, someone who has a GTA will respond

LOL ! I hear ya man. Thanks for the info, but I just checked my car, and do not have any relays near my battery on the passengers side. But I do have two relays on the driver side up front near where my air filter goes (behind the headlight) I wonder what those are for.
Later man

Man Mike, I just screwed up my last response! I meant to say that I have two relays on my passenger side near where my air filter goes,(Behind the headlight) but my battery is on the drivers side and there is nothing there. Sorry for the confusion.

GTA,

At least one of those is a fan relay. The confusion is over the fact that the Camaros have the battery on the right, while the Firebirds have the battery on the left. The air cleaner and EVAP canister are in the right corner, right next to the fan relays.

Thanks guys! At least I know where they are now. I would have changed the ones by the master cylinder if I didn't ask!
Take care
Mike
