electric fan conversion on a TR3A

Hello:

I'm thinking of replacing the fan on my 1960 TR3A with a 12" Hayden electric
fan kit
from Moss installed as a "puller". To support the electric fan, I'm also
planning to
replace the generator in my car with a 60A alternator.

With both the fan and the alternator, I'd like to find replacements that
would allow me to
easily go back to "stock" if I ever wished to. As such, I'd like to avoid
anything that
requires any cutting, etc.

1) Will I need to add a harmonic balancer to compensate for the missing fan?
If so,
    where can I find one that doesn't cost an arm and a leg?
2) Does anyone have any comments about the Moss kit (completeness, ease of
    installation, etc.)?

Brian Schlorff at Power British makes an alternator replacement kit but I've
not
been successful in reaching him. Does anyone know of another suitable
alternator
replacement kit?

Regards,
