One of the best things I have done. I did have to trim the support both side to side and the amll lip at the top the goes toward the rear of the car. I had to do that to move the Rad/fan combo forward so it didn't hit the WP. Took all of 10 minutes and then made some mounts and has been great.

I have the fan on the front side of my radiator and it is a pusher now.
It works Great and fit in the space with only little mods done.
This is on a B body though.

How many amps does it draw?
I like the built in fan shround to the radiator edges.

I will look through my notes as I know I checked it and if not, I will tomorrow after work. The thing moves a ton of air and is so quiet.

I'm watching this with great interest.

I only have about 2 5/8" between my rad, and my MECHANICAL waterpump.

Anyone fit one in an A-body with a mechanical wp?

I have one on my 94 and love it. Cools in the Hot Houston Summer Heat! And it is pretty quiet too!

I got mine from Rock Auto (online) for about $55 shipped.

A word to the wise, i was given by a member here. With anything close to a stock charging system , the HHR fan will flat eat up a battery in a mighty short time.
A guy told me he had a 50 amp denso on his car and with that fan, ran out of juice on a sortie on the street one night because of how much juice that HHR eats. That is the only reason i dont currently have one, and just bought a much lower amP draw new fan for my car....aa i have a stock alt, not even as good as his Denso that didnt cut the mustard.

I don't have a stock alt, but I am going to measure the draw tonight when I get off work. if I remember correctly it drew way less power than most previous fans I have had. Also, since the swap I have noticed zero difference in battery charging or anything electrical related. as mentioned though, like everything on here, your results may vary.
