If you have a manual kill switch, no problems. Some folks prefer
electric when they have a lot of water on their routes.

All Cherokees with AC have a second fan in them that is electric. No
manual kill switch though.

Easy to wire one in. If you do this I would suggest a lighted switch that
lights up when the fan is off, so its not forgotten when you return to
everyday use.
