Default Crank Pulley Question.

Interested in dropping the crank pulley and loosing that fan of mine. It looks like the pickup already has a E-Fan But im not sure If it will manage to keep the motor Cool...Thats if i eliminate the crank fan.
So my questions are,

1) Is there a Kit i can order to eliminate/delete that big heavy fan?
2) Am i going to have to install another E-Fan?


it looks like the truck came stock with an electric fan.. so would i have to delete that one aswell and add a better aftermarket one?much rather run E-fans then crank pulley fan.

Ok, There are 5 bolts keeping the fan on the clutch. after i remove those bolts will the whole thing just come off the crank pulley??? there is no single bolt on the front of the clutch fan so im guessing it's just the 5 bolts and the whole assembly should just come off.. can anyone correct me before i go and try that?? FAST RPLY would be nice!! thanks guys

Ok... Seems when i try to take that nut off connected the clutch fan to the crank pulley it's spinning the actual pulley. how do i keep the pulley from stopping so i can take off that nut. I reliese that the 5 bolts are just keeping the fan onto the clutch shaft.. so I understand what i need to take off But the pulley is moving when i crank on the wrench. any solution to my problemo?
