Default fan shroud ?
is it better to leave the factory shroud on or take it off with an electric fan installed?

I took mine off due to the fact that the electric fan I have would hit the protruding shaft from the water pump where the old mechanical fan would normally mount up.

The big plastic Shroud... I don't see why taking it off would help any unless the fan was gonna hit the shroud...
