i am actually not sure if a pigtail plug will work behind the fan. wont the fan-cone thingy get in the way if it was attached? it is hardenough wiggling the fan and alt into place without having all the extra BS hanging off of it.
and i also dont agree with the alternator seeing all of this cool air from the fan. with the cup section of the fan covering the front and the shroud cone thing, i think it is pretty isolated.

You could measure the Tair down there with a thermocouple or a radio emitting sensor...

Trash the A/C, but keep the heater blower fan. It might not look as pretty, but it works much better, and the big accordion hose on the left is a snap to remove; like 30 sec.

But if you do get rid of the fan you might have a buyer if the price is right...

I don't understand why the fans get powder coated; I know it's probably the most durable coating, but what about the balancing issue. If you look on the back of the fan you see a series of holes used to balnce the fan; doesn't the powder ruin the balancing of the fan? I doubt it feasible to apply exactly the same amount of media to maintain the balance; am I missing something?

I don't think there is enough of a difference in weight distribution across the fan to matter at the RPM's it is turning. Never gave it a second thought.

I powder coated my fan and housing. I did not get any clearance issues. What I did notice, that "Tire Boogers" like to get sucked up in the fan. The "boogers" then mark up the housing (kinda like a black sneaker on a basketball court). They come off easily with a rub of a towel.
I do not think this would be an issue with a street car.

Dam! I just powder coated my fan myself and didn't consider this a problem. Thanks for the information everyone, my fan and other items came out great and was relatively easy to do. Not to mention, saved a bunch of money.
