I have removed my fan now for two winters,i like the results,quieter,quicker warmup(my clutch fans have always moved some air even when cold) .I live in northern ontario its cold here.That being said i wont let anyone else drive it
and would recomend installing a temperature sensor for a warning light or
pusher fan(I have bought a 10" hayden fan kit,with sensor &relay for this purpose,have not installed it yet)Gas mileage is terrible at low temperatures, i can not see any advantage being measurable on this aspect.
