Its a great design. My 2.3 has the electro magnet fan too which can rob power in stop and go traffic. The clutch fan on the 2.6 is really elegant.

Best way is probably to test the full lock up capability when the fan heats up at 100C on the temp gauge. The low speed lock up is weak, its just enough to keep the engine cool in idle situations.
