I've also noticed that later models don't have fan in front radiator. Is this an upgrade that is worth doing? A/C says system won't work without this fan assy. Is this true? I would think fans are only needed for extra cooling & not part of the whole A/C system

"Extra cooling" includes running the AC. That produces extra heat.
If your fan is in front of the radiator, remove the guard, the clips that hold the radiator to the core-support top cross-member, the top cross-member itself (unclip the cable for the hood release underneath), the horn and hood bumper and the bracket that holds them to the front bumper frame, and undo the three bolts holding the power-steering cooling line so it can be pushed out of the way (this line need not be disconnected). Next undo the electrical cable connection and the two bolts at the top of the fan assembly, and it lifts out easily enough.
