Thank you!

And yes, factory brackets. I had to redrill them so they mounted slightly farther out because the fan is larger but other than that it fit right in there. The Spal fan also uses the same plug as factory so it could potentially be a direct replacement.

Awesome! I think I need to do this. Do you think this setup would be sufficient for a car without AC, just as a cooling fan if I delete my manual fan?

Without AC my guess would be yes. Do you have the condenser still installed? The fan butts up against it with the brackets. Removing it will give you more flow but it may not mount as well. That's my only concern.

hmmm. good call. I do still have my condenser. I removed my ac pump when i put in the e30 318 swap. The entire factory ac system is there, except the compressor because my AC wasnt working so i wasnt motivated to put it back in to fix it haha.

Nice set up bro. Hey, could you send me in the right direction on where I can find that bracket?
