well yes, and with the fickleness of head in relation to overheating is the big issue. with my fan clutch being possibly comprimised i worry about that.
the benifits i can see with going electric as opposed with replacing the clutch is in fuel savings and cost savings.
i think its around 300 for a new fan clutch and for less than a 1/3 i could get a electric fan with a setable thermostat.

Im not worried about blowing the hot air off the engine as i dont have the bottom pan on the engine bay so the climate controled/heated bay will never be an issue.

From what i have heard the cooling provided by a fan is really most usefull from 0-15 mph. after that enough cooling is provided by air forced in through the front. so why waste energy pushing air around at 15-150 mph
