69 Camaro Fan Shroud And Fan Clutch
 
Do I have to drill out the three rivets at the bottom of the rad in order to remove the shroud. Its a small block car and I believe its an original rad and shroud setup. Also how do you remove the fan clutch. Do I need a puller to pull it off the shaft? Thanks in advance Frank

Show us pics because that doesn't sound like Camaro stuff.

Hey Charlie. I can text you a pic but I'll need a number to send it to

Small block shroud is attached at the bottom with nothing more than clips that are part of the radiator.
They are often missing, so guys improvise. Apparently someone improvised on yours. I hate to assume, but it sounds like someone riveted it to the bottom brace on the core. Do the rivets go straight up from the bottom?

The rivets are not factory. Be carefull drilling. Go through to far and you could punch a hole in a tube.

I would grind off the heads first, just to get the shroud off.

Fan clutch is a slip fit onto the water pump shaft. Just remove the four nuts (or bolts if the studs have been removed.... often see bolts in place of the studs and nuts) and it should come right off. If it is stuck, soak it in some penetrating oil, then tap lightly.

Good luck.

Thanks Lynn. I dont' see any clips. The bottom of the shroud is riveted to the rail. I checked CRG last night but they don't show a complete original setup. Its been more than 40 years since I have been into one of these things so I'm just going to take my time. Learning all over again
