I installed the fan in place of the old aux. fan. I got a 16" fan and once I wiggled it around some it went right in. I removed the bumper to do it. But removing the bumper was very easy. Pry off the black plastic strips on either side of the front license plate frame. This exposes four nuts in the front. The side lights come out to the outside. Squeeze the metal retaining clips and they pop out. unhook the wires from them. Unhook the wires from fog lights if you have them. on either side there is a black plastic circular piece with a groove in it. Using a large flathead screwdriver turn these 90 degrees and they come out. Remove the four nuts on the front. The bumper will now come off. It may stick a little on the sides but there is nothing more holding it to the car.(at least on my 93 Touring). Once the bumper is off remove the trim piece that holds the kidney grills in place. This has plastic attachments that press off. Once this is off you are staring at the aux fan. Unplug it first. There are three or four bolts holding it on around its perimiter. Remove these and the fan comes out. Follow instructions on new fan for polarity and test with a battery to make sure fan rotates in correct direction. With the Flex-a-lite there were attachment points on the outside of the shroud. Using the ones with the holes in them I safety wired these to the stock fan mounts. Then I ran two more loops of safety wire through the ac condensor and the radiator, one 180 degrees from the other, to hold the fan securely against the condensor. Hooked up the wires with crimp connectors and heat shrink. Plugged it in and ran the car long enough to make the fan run. It worked and I cleaned up the wires with zip ties and bolted the bumper back on. After three days of driving including one stop on the side of the highway to feed the baby with the engine and AC on the coolant gage has not moved off of it's happy place yet. Admittedly it hasn't gotten back into the ninetys yet but before it would have overheated when my wife pulled off the road to feed the baby. Seems to be working. Any further questions let me know.
