Default LS TURBO, Do I have to remove my AC Fan?

I'm getting ready to install my turbo kit, it's with a t3/t4, rev hard manifold and 2.5 downpipe. Will I need to remove my AC Fan in order for the setup to work or will I need to get a slimfan and mount it behind my FMIC? What size fan would I need, thanx.

I have heard of some ppl actually trimming the fan a little to were its not touching or scraping the DP. I think it wont melt though.

If you have a CRX/any EF then there is no way to put the A/C fan in the stock location. (from experience)

With another other car then it would not be a problem.

It will be tight but then again anything turbo is a tight fit on a Honda.

Im fine with the stock fan, but i dont think the one on the driver side is not working, since the manifold got so hot i think it melted the wires or something LOL. but the one on passenger work fine. i have a/c unit but got no cold air in it lol, so i never used a/c anyways.

i have the revhard manifold and a SC61 with the S housing. I used 2 slim fans. For the radiator, the slim fan fit on the front where the stock fan went. For the a/c condensor I had to make the fan a pusher style and mount it by the intercooler.
