And an electric fan will rarely be more efficient than mechanical/clutch fan, especially more than any ebay/vatozone special with no shroud and u will see very minimal power gains-if any-from swapping to an electric fan. Im not busting your balls here, just telling you what I know, I actually love the car, looks to be in really good shape.
Who welded the coilovers? Do you have any picture of that work? Im considering bc's now instead of the koni yellow/GC coils combo I was considering before, but I dont know, Im still a long way from that part on my build...

well that things long gone, now its 3 row rad, the fan is temporary but doing the job, plan to upgrade to a 16in mishimoto later. I felt quite a noticable power gain from losing both the fan and ac/idler pulleys. The fan didnt even have a clutch it was some o'rale holmes clutchless metal blade type, weird and spinning too fast and made noise. Thnks though, the BC coils are great and come with camber in all 4 corners and are full body style opposed to ground controls, so you wont lose suspension travel if you wanted to go low.
