a fans a fan . as long as it cools the radiator who cares if its pass side or driver side fan . either do that or get some slimline fans from autozone or something and make em pushers and give yourself alot more room

well, i don't want to spend money for another fan if i can reuse the passenger side fan.. i just want to verify that it will fit.

i guess you missed a part in my first post. my driver side fan is melted and i just need a quick fix. i removed my passenger side fan for aftermarket for clearance issues.. so its just laying around and it would be free to install, but if its not a direct fit, i'll just get an aftermaket fan.

again ,you can make anything fit if you really try. i forget i think the stock fans were held in by those clips of some sort, its been a while, but you can use those zip tie things to hold it in im sure, like with aftermarket rad fans. only way to know is to try, if its right there, why not try it. Is it just the shroud thats melted? is it really hindering the way the fan spins? if its not i dont see it a dire need really.

Why don't you try to see if it fits?

Just make sure it flows just as good with the stock cfm's...but i use a puller for the radiator, and a puller for the a/c condensor.
