Since removing the belt fan and shroud I've noticed the car runs cooler on the highway. I connected the dual pusher fans (standard on the 91) to a thermostat, the slow speed keeps up with city driving fine.

I think airflow with the stock belt fan is not as good as it could be. There is so little room between the fan and engine the air has no place to go. With the fan gone air can flow past the engine and out the bottom of the car easier.
