if you are its not a good idea. The taurus fan uses 40 amps thats more than half of the highest output the stock puts out. You would be risking breaking down or components not operating correctly.

i have already replaced the fan clutch. when i got the car a few years ago, the stock fan clutch bearings were shot, fan wobbled so much it was starting to rub on the fan shroud, lol.
