The 86 and newer models had 2 different sizes of fan, depending.

The factory A/C models as well as many/all Syncros used a fan with a
larger motor. This larger motor needs different fan wiring and different
metal shroud.

The wiring diagram in the Bentley for A/C has the wrong colors of wire
to the fan and fan temp switch. See my post from Sept where I gave details.
