I run no fan & survived many road & track miles this way; at first with
the heater & fan as backup cooling.  I agree with Chris about an electric
fan, however, as it took lots of watching/sweltering to avoid the major
BHP loss.  History majors note how painful a lesson the Triumph
factory learned about fan blades at Le Mans.  Watch your fingers too.

I run no charging system.  Less to fail and less weight in a terrible
place.  I use a gilmore belt and tension it by moving the water pump
and housing.  No extra pulley to fail. On the TR3 access is also much
better, and one less item during a motor R&R.
