I'd be cautious of the radiator neck and the fan clutch blades. Not try to go for scare tactics here, but the necks are prone to cracks. I've seen a handful fan blades that got so dry and brittle that they broke under centrifugal force...taking out everything in their path and literally going through the hood in a few instances. I've deleted my fan clutch for an electric fan conversion years ago.
