You can get the ford taurus fan. It is said to be the god of all electric fans. There are a few write ups and similar questions so try searching around for more info.
Basically switching to an electric fan will free up some HP since the fan is driven by the engine. It will also free up lots of space and make the bay look a lot cleaner.

You can use flex-a-lite fans, but i would not remove the stock clutch fan. the clutch fan is proven better than all those electric fans out there. Trust me i know, alot of my buddies with supras and sc's with electric fans has having problems wwhen using the ac.

On our car, we installed a ford taurus fan last year. It just got converted back to mechanical stock fan.
Yet again, listen to internet claims and they are bound to be wrong, and it is. Nothing beats the stock fan. On hot florida days, you couldn't turn the AC on without going well over 220* water temp. With the stock fan, it just stuck at 180. I have never heard of a forced induction car worried about the HP that it "robs". Just turn your boost up .5psi if you're that concerned about it, or get a bigger turbo.
