Another alternative is to simply do what I did - throw away the entire 
fan/clutch assembly and install electric fans.  Why have the engine working 
to spin all that weight?  I got two fans (pullers) from Scott's Fans in CA 
(look for them in Hemmings - don't have their address/phone with me) that 
came complete with all the h/w I needed to get them installed.

They are both mounted to the back of the radiator (of course) and one is a 
tad smaller to allow room for the water pump shaft (where the fan clutch 
*used* to be pressed on).  They move a lot of air.

p.s. - I didn't really "throw it away" - it's still in my "saved parts box". 
  Didn't want any of the purists to have a heart attack.  :-)
