Engine bay fan

I just picked up an 02 C4S. Previous owner put on fixed rear wing, but left out the engine fan. I have it. Should I reinstall it? I live in AZ and based on some basic p-car knowledge, this fan cools engine bay at times when engine is NOT running. Any comment greatly appreciated.

You are correct about the fan operation for the use case you cite. Another important one, engine on, moving slowly or not moving.

If it were me, I'd reinstall it.

Some owners, especially those in hot climates, even raise the engine compartment lid and use an external fan to blow into that area right after parking in their garage.
