aux fan is in front of the ac condenser imo it is worthless, I removed it from my 89, as for on temp somewhere around 236 I think you can google it, or be patient someone here will answer with the exact temp. I can tell you that since I removed mine I haven't had any cooling problems.

I wouldn't unplug it, in case your reg fan fails. I put a 210 degree in its place and
Irarely use the big fan. It also aids in cooling the condenser when ac is on

That sounds like a good idea. If you remember I would like to have the size brand and any other particular info. But either way thank you very much for your time and help. Curt 623 308 0525 clanham1@***.net
