I'm sure electric fans work just fine on a low-horsepower car with no A/C, but for the combos Lee and I were running (with A/C), they just wouldn't cut it in the hot, Alabama summers.

I've run Sn95 electric fans on many cars and never had an issue with cooling.

I've been running a Mark VIII fan w/ a DCC controller on a Fluidyne radiator. I just replaced the Fluidyne due to a leak with a Summit (Northern) this weekend. The Northern is 1/4" thicker than the Fluidyne was so I'm expecting it to perform as well or better. No A/C but I've never had any cooling issues with it, even in 280 stop and go traffic for about an hour one time last summer.

Yeah, the A/C always made a big difference with cooling for me. If I left it off, it would do fine, but a few minutes after turning it on, the temp gauge would begin to creep up.

Contemplating on my pulling the a/c on the car. It works great!

If it works, I would not pull it if I were you. It robs very little horsepower when the clutch is disengaged and, unless you're going to drag race and need to shave that last .005 second off your timeslip, it's just not worth getting rid of.

of course the difference in with Brian and me compared to some here is that we drove our cars everyday. So a/c was a requirement. Personally I like the underhood look with all accessories on the car. Engine bay looks to naked with p/s and a/c missing
