Depends, you need to get the flex-fan forward and into the shroud, so that it sucks air THROUGH the rad.
They sell those things at every speedshop and large parts store, try it on for size, and measure/get the spacer there.

I did not like my flex fan on my Chevelle, it made a lot of noise.

I had a flex fan on my Vette for about 20 years and really liked it...

Yes, you need to remove the clutch.
Pretty sure that this is the spacer that you need, but it's red. Double check with
Summit when you order it.
