87 Corvette cooling system problems

Ok i have a 87 vette and have been working on reverting the previous owner hack jobs. One of them is the cooling system i went back to a stock rad fan but now its always on but that brings up my next problem the previous owner also deleted out the a/c system and from what i gather that why the fan wont shutdown till key is off.Is there a way to bypass this so the fans turn on and off as it should w/o the a/c?

This would be my first guess since A/C is gone . Jump the electrical plug. When this is unplugged fans stay on continuously. I have an 87 and the the connection was pushed in and not making a connection. Took a while but found it and now all works properly.Attachment 48343859

Thanks for the replys found the wires they was stuff under the a/c evap. core cause they remove all the a/c plumbing up to the core so it was not easy to find them.

I jumped the plugged and the cooling system now works but yet another problem come up as i was warming it up and now got to look into why the check engine light is about so the project keeps going.
