different OPINION .... have 7 blade clutch fans w/shrouds on both of my old trucks, both have A/C, 1 SB, 1 BB w/headers. Plenty HOT in central Florida. Both trucks run cool and quiet in traffic or waiting on my wife shopping. My DD '02 GMC 6.0 and wife's '06 GMC Savanna 5.3 have factory mechanical fans too. I think the fan blade and clutch are available from auto parts chain stores... Advance, O'rielly..... LMC or one of the repro. suppliers have the shroud OR maybe find an original. I'd get the shroud first and buy the appropriate diameter blade.
