I'm now aware that when removing the fan it could be hinged on the left hand side around the pipes.

What i'm really saying is i also have no idea what would be involved with removing any air con pipes, i'm guessing the whole system would need to be re-gassed?
Interested to hear about this as its another lesson for me to learn.
Thanks

If you are going to remove your old fan completely from the car & your car as A/C gas yes, it is best you cut round or break away the cowling round the unions to aid removal, than cut neatly round the cowling of the new fan so it fits nice round the A/C unions.
Cowling fitted round the A/C pipe unions.
1
Use long nosed pliers to nibble the cowling away from the unions.

Do the same with the bottom union.

The fan can then be removed from the car without disturbing the A/C gas.
7
Re-fit the new fan with the cowling trimmed neatly round the unions.

One I trimmed ready for fitting to car when needed four wire 3 speed, re-brushed V6
