My MarkIII electric fan crapped out on me yesterday so I ended up scrounging up a new ( used ) one at the local salvage yard. The problem was I had to use one out of a 94 Cougar & because of the bigger size I was not able to re-install my OEM coolant overflow tank. If I leave it disconected will I have any problems? If so, I could try the yard again & maybe come up with a smaller tank that fits. If anyone has some advice in this matter I would appreciate it! Thanks...

you need a place for the over flow to go when the liquid expands(or you could have leaking problems).......i have seen people use little 20oz soda bottles...........if it isnt broke dont fix it.
