It'll replace the factory clutch fan which will free up some ponies due to less drag/parasitic losson the engine.

Yeppir, Flexalite Black Magic Extreme 180. Moe's has the best price. Fairly easy install. If you plan to DIY, some experience with standard tools and electrical wiring will be helpful. A spanner to remove the water pump pulley is not required, but will sure make it easier.

This seems to be a popular topic lately. Definitely a worth while mod. Flex-a-lite 180 is a sweet setup. Moe's perforance is a great place to buy from for price and service.

I'm pretty sure it will fit, but even if it won't, you can always remove the stock shroud. Even though I kept mine, a lot ofpeople go shroudless, you just have to relocate the coolant and washer bottles.
