KA: Is the A/C electric fan necessary? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

My clutch fan took a shit last night after the water pump studs snapped in half and my fan fell foward into my A/C fan and tore it to pieces. I'm running no A/C fan now and my A/C doesn't even work for that matter. Will the clutch fan be enough to keep my car nice and cool? It seems to be working alright so far on about 20-30min drives.

If the AC doesn't work and don't care to fix it. Remove the condenser.

Yes the fan is needed or Yes the clutch fan will keep it cool enough?

Electric serves 2 functions. AC fan to keep the condenser cool and Overheat protection. Even if the AC is not installed you won't have the overheat protection.

^^Right. I meant Yes, the electric fan is necessary. Granted the clutch fan may work on its own now.. Shit happens, and maybe it won't be enough one day.
