[6pack] OT - Spit question

[Mark]

Aloha all,

A friend of mine has a '76 Spitfire 1500 with a fan clutch that is making lots
of noise.  He bought an electric fan to replace it.

My question is: Can he remove the fan clutch from the water pump and call it a
day or must something go in it's place?

Thanks,
