There is very little clearance. But some people seem to get away with the stock fan, but most go with the slim fans.

I went with the 9" slim fan and it left a good amont of room with slave cylinder. I would recommend that you put the fan before the radiator to make extra clearance just in case you go turbo .

Not saying you cant put the fan behind the rad , it's just to make more room.

Putting the fan in front ( under core support)of the rad will give you another 1"-1 1/2" of x-tra clearance. Most slim fans are pusher/ puller type , so you can change the fan around to accomodate which side of the rad you want it on.

yeah your right, i put mine on the side of the stock one, should be fine, but the other side will work better imo
