Put in new rad!

I took out my radiator -90min
I wanted for UPS guy to deliver new radiator-30 min
I installed radiator in a hurry cause I had to go to a car wreck (first responder)-7 min

I left out the fan near the exhaust manifold. So far the temps are under control. It opened up alot of space and I think it will stay cool enough w/o the A/C on.

If it starts to overheat turn on your heaters full blast, that will get rid of some of the heat.

Well the test went well. I did 30 min of highway driving at 80 and it was cool so I followed that with 15 min of stop and go city traffic with the A/C on, still cool. Me happy :) ambient temp ~80

So you don't really need that fan and it drops about 4lbs and it opens up alot of space.

That's cool, but what if you run into an hour of stop-and-go traffic... That's where I would start to worry...
Highway driving wouldn't be affected anyways, cuz your fan should turn off well below highway speed as it is.

needle didn't even move, and I'm in Iowa where finding 30 min of stop and go requires alot of work.
