If this has been covered, I missed it in the search.

After swapping to elec fan should anything special be done about the w/p pulley? Do most of ya'll just bolt the pulley up and let it bump? I guess I'm curious about strength since the other components will no longer be there. Just checking.

You shouldn't have to change a thing, just bolt the pulley to the water pump w/ the stock bolts and down the road you go.

I think I had to use shorter bolts because with no fan bolted to the pulley, the stock bolts were too long and were going to hit the water pump.

The mech fan puts extra load on the water pump bearings and other components. Removing that load will unburden the components.
