When my bus batteries collapsed while getting fuel a guy gave me a jump with a new Chevy 1500. It was a V6 and I found the fact that it was missing the 18" deep fan shroud usual to a V6 in a fullsize interesting. You could easily stand in the space between the engine and radiator. And then I realized it had electric fans. I think the majority of cars and trucks have electric fans now, actually. Your clutched fan on your engine has more power available, certainly, but it doesn't use it. It spins when it is not needed and has a crude mechanical thermostat to engage it approximately whenever it is needed. It works, but it's not the only way of doing it.
The issue is that it is designed from the factory that way and if you are converting to an electric you will have to experiment to find something that works.
Another and more important issue is the condition of the cooling system. My last two tow vehicles have had the same engine and cooling system. But my last truck had overheating problems if I pushed it hard on the hills. I thought it was just from overpowering the cooling system by addition of a turbocharger on an indirect-injection engine. But my current truck has never had the problem at all. I believe my old radiator was partially blocked or maybe the fan clutch was faulty. In fact, I've had the same issue with my B2--which always got hot wheeling. My old radiator blew up (seriously, one of the side tanks blew into plastic shrapnel) during a hard day of wheeling in 20F weather at Wellsville. When I replaced it with the same exact radiator--but a new one, there has been no probablem with overheating since.
It's likely you have the capacity you need.
