I replaced my fan with a thinner fan from autozone($65). My old one wouldn’t cut on, but the fan still worked when I rewired it to the battery. I just ran a wire to the fuse box (ignition), so that the fan would cut on when the key was turned. I live in GA, so that’s why I just changed everything out. I like the new fan way better than the stock.

bringing back an ancient topic, but one that has merit to me right now.
I’m considering rewiring my cooling fan (passenger side) but was curious about a few things.
I deleted my AC and all related components a few weeks ago, including the smaller condenser fan. Now, I’ve noticed (and mind you, I’ve noticed this since I’ve had the car) that the other fan ALMOST NEVER cuts on at all. Even when temps get a little high, it was always the other fan (condenser). When it did cut on, it was noisy (sounded clunky like it wasn’t spinning properly). Now, it just outright won’t come on. I’m assuming the fan is dead. Motor likely went out. So, my question is this simply this:
Can I put the condenser fan, which I KNOW works (because I couldn’t get THAT one to turn off 
killed 2 batteries on me) in the spot where the current cooling fan is? will it physically fit without modding, or minimal modding?
And, which wire is the “hot” wire for this, as I intend to simply do what others have done, and wire it to a pin in the fuse box that will allow it to be on when the car is running. Also, I noticed there are 2 plugs for the fan (one is green, the other is “white”. Are both necessary? Or can I get rid of one particular set of wires since I’m wiring it notably different than OEM spec? If so, which one do I keep, Green or White? and again, which one is the hot wire, and which is ground? I don’t have my Haynes manual handy to help me out.
Its very likely that I’ll wire it to a switch in the near future, so it won’t be on all the time in the winter.
