I'm gathering all the parts needed to swap out the 2.3 out of my 93 lx and installing the 5.0. The present fan is a electric fan. Can I use this OEM fan?

Anyone have a vacuum hose diagram?

Where does the EGR valve gets it's exhaust gas source? I don't see a tube from the headers like on my 95.

Ok, the electric fan from the 4 cyl MIGHT be enough to keep you running cool.. but the radiator won't be (obviously.) I know of one person running a chevrolet cavalier electric fan on a blown lx.. so it's possible. You could do the Taurus or Mark 8 swap.. it's pretty cheap, then you wouldn't have to worry.

Here's a link to a page which should help with your vacuum questions:
