I have seen more questions on fan/radiator/heating problems in the last year than ever before.Everyone tries to fix things that aren't broke,they worked when new. Every car that came down the assembly line worked as they should with factory parts.I can see replacement aftermarket components if someone changes/upgrades an engine to something other than the original or builds a modified car but why change what works.If all components are as they should be,you will have no problems. 
We are having more problems with the older cars because of the gas available. Yes with 95% of the cars out there, there no problems but we own the 5%. The problem with the replacement fan clutch is the replacement fan clutches supersede to another number that is too tall/long for many radiators, many are those that have been modded with thicker cores. So… 
Plus stock cars are boring and more power means more heat.

Yep. Engineers had it fugured out. Garbage California gas doesn't seem to hurt my 440. Runs cool with ALL stock stuff.

Many of those old mopars came stock with fixed fans, so thats most likely what you'll have to do, sure there were some that came with a clutch style, & they were some thin ones out there, but theres no real demand for them anymore, & like mentioned earlier, those clutches were superceded with other #s, so its like one size fits all when you get the thin unit, the really thin units were on rare models & now there extinct.

Might be able to mill your WP housing to space it rearward which would require moving the other pulleys to keep the alignment(or a shorter WP pulley). Just thinking out loud @1:15AM

Bob Mazzolini sells a fan clutch that is shorter than the Jaguar one.
Do you have a part number? Measurements?

For shame! 
But FWIW I've been able to cool well with a 4-blade fixed fan for years, so if you are in a tight spot, that's always an option.
