if you have a 1500, you can get a water pump w/o a fan clutch. It's for a
'74 spitfire (I believe). Or you can just remove the fan, and leave the
clutch on the pulley.
Peter, can you help here?

Awesome. The car does have a Kenlowe fan fitted, and a manual on/off
switch. There's a large rectangular hole in the dash next to the
current switch - wonder if this was the clock switch you mentioned.
I know someone earlier said it looked like a temperature sender, good
work everyone!
On a related note, I'd like to move the Kenlowe to behind the radiator,
and take out the OEM fan. It looks tight - anyone done this? I take it
that the pulley has to stay because of the water pump. ;)
