Went back out to the garage for a short second session. I installed the fan assembly and the fan belt.
Note: I discovered the fan hold down strap can't be installed with the distributor and the oil pressure sending unit installed. So I pulled the distributor and the oil pressure sending unit, fed the fan hold down strap thru the openings at the base of the fan housing cradle, mounted the fan and tightened down the fan hold down strap, then went back and re-installed the distributor and the oil pressure sending unit.
Next, I installed the small copper webbed ground strap between one of the upper case perimeter nuts and one of the nuts that holds the fan / alternator in the fan housing.
Finally, I mocked up the fan shroud and block off plates just to see how they fit and look. Once I get the engine wiring harness in place and make the connections to the back of the alternator, I can do the final install of the fan shroud (I'll double check Wayne D's 911 engine rebuilding book first to see if I've missed anything - like I didn't do with the fan hold down strap).
