And if you're afraid of chancing it with used radiator fan/motors, I have
them new:

251-9601G       Vanagon 83-85 ALL (300W)
                Vanagon w/o Air Cond 86-91      $199.00

251-9601M       Vanagon w/Air Cond 86-91        $365.00
                (450W)

My advice is to put the switch back in.  These motors are not designed for
running these things ALL the time.  At the very least, put a manual switch
on the dash to turn it on once in awhile while in stop and go traffic.
When the needle is about two needle-widths to the right of the LED is about
the right time for the fan to go on.
