The whole point of putting in an after market electric fan is to get rid of the clutch fan.
If your car runs cool enough with your aftermarket electric fan, then you dont need the clutch fan.
People will tell you that a clutch fan cools better.
So make sure you ahve a aftermarket fan that will do the job.
Also, leave on your fan shroud still, it helps to make the air flow through the radiator the way its supposed to.

Are you talking about an electric fan on the radiator or are you talking about your ac fan?

im not sure there is a fan on the radiator but its only 1 fan on the right side of the car...
idk if thats enough? but i would like to take off the clutch fan it lags out so much lol

clutch fan doesn't really drag THAT much. a couple horsepower at best.
and it's not like an e-fan doesn't drag down your engine. It's going to draw more current from the alternator, causing more drag. Pick your poison

Your clutch fan is .also way more reliable than a e fan. If the space allows it I'd leave it.
