Anything "can" be done. Question is, what are you really wanting it to do? if you just want the fan to come on sooner, it'd be a lot easier to adjust the fan switch that's already installed. A lot of people have added a switch located in the cabin that they can flip to have the fan come on anytime they want. But, if you really want the fan to come on based solely on the left head temp, more power to you.

I lowered the coolant temp on/off fan switch using a Corvette Central part...

From Corvette Central ..We offer electric cooling fan switches in four different temperature ranges. The switches will turn on the main fan, auxiliary fan or both at a lower temperature.

On my 84 it goes in the head between the plugs .. right side on the 84 and left side on the later years ..to 89..also used in the aux fan.. Interesting reading about the many cooling changes in the first few years..
