removing fan

Just go electric and give your self extra power and room to change the drive belt, not to mention if the plastic factory fan grenades it will screw some sh stuff up.
I saw on put a whole through a hood kill hoses and the radi.
 
also the shroud is the easiest thing to take out of the engine bay next to the battery. why even recommend avoiding it?

Why take off more things than you have too....especially since the shroud isn't in the way.
