For that much you could convert to an electric fan and free up a few
HPs as well.

Not a lot of space in there for a fan even after removing the clutch.
chryslerpartsdirect.com has the OEM clutch for US$230.10
On the site it's under Cooling sytem/Cooling fan/Fan clutch

The stories I could tell you about that. When I worked for a company
here that makes hydraulic components, we made a few part numbers for
Diamond Star. They were power steering hoses. One of the parts we made
was identical to one found on a co-worker's truck, so we called the
local dealer to get a price on the hose. I don't remember the exact
numbers, but the hose cost from the dealer was about $140. We were
selling that same hose to Diamond Star for about $12.50.
