71 Cuda 340 (with A/C) - What Fan? Clutch or No Clutch?

[Yellow71Cuda]

   When I bought my car, most appeared original, and it has a non-clutch fan.  Is this correct for a 71 (late '70 build) 340 Cuda with factory A/C?

AC car ? No way.

AC car ? No way.

My gut tells me the same thing Alan, but every fan/clutch combo I see advertised says, "Hemi, Big Block, and 340 Without A/C".   

I feel kinda left out.

Okay...Found this...

I did have this in a parts stash...Can't find any numbers though...

7 blade with AC   

Does that fan have a part number stamped on it?

Oddly enough Cody, I see no part numbers.  Maybe if I clean it up, I can find some.

Some are metal stamped and some just ink stamped. 216's have been seen both ways.

Thats a 216....

So...blast it, paint it, and bolt it on?

Yup, How's the clutch?

Turns smoothly with resistance.

Sounds promising...

Ok, this is an older post, but I will ask anyways.  My 1970 Challenger has a 440 with a manual trans.  Would you guys recommend a solid 7 blade fan or one with a clutch?
