Dewitts dual fan install
I have purchased Dewitts dual fan setup for my 79 corvette. Does anybody have pictures of the Dewitt dual fan setup with the raditor out of the car? I was led to believe that it could be installed without a fan shroud. I am using four row OE raditor.

You can't install it with the stock shroud - nor is one needed. When I installed mine, it was VERY tight - there is only about 1/4" between each end of the Spal unit and the A-Arm bolt washers - I needed to have the radiator mounted, get the Spal unit in and mark where to mount the brackets on the radiator with everything in place. In the end, the Spals are NOT centered on the radiator. Yours may not be that tight, but I wanted you to have the heads up so you didn't get everything put together only to find it wouldn't fit! I wouldn't rely on a picture unless you were 100% positive it was the exact same everything as your car. It won't take too long to make sure it's right before you commit.
