I removed those and the shroud leaned towards the engine which allowed me to access the fan and also the bolts on the water pump.When I started it up, I couldn't believe the amount of air being pushed out of the engine compartment.My original fan was a 17" flex fan. It didn't fit very well in the shroud having about a 2-in gap all the way around. I installed an 18-in clutch fan. Still have over an inch on each side of the shroud and also probably 3 in between the fan and the radiator.I think the combination of larger fan and fitting in the shroud better combined with the clutch fan has made a huge difference. After I took the flex fan off I did a little inspection of the rivets holding the blades in place. I found a hairline fracture on one of the blades. Probably just going to be a matter of time before that one came flying off.Thanks for all the info guys. You guys did all the hard work for me by researching part numbers etc. </blockquote>
