Default Taurus Fan Install Help...

have a bunch of questions about installing my taurus fan. I am using a Fluidyne radiator and a Taurus fan from a 92. Here is a breakdown of my questions:

1) I am unsure how to bolt the fan up to the radiator. There is no mounting holes on the bottom of the fan shroud... am I supposed to drill these out? And the slots on the bottom of the radiator doesnt line up with the fan.

2) I also have a Hayden transmission cooler (automatic obviously), any idea where I am supposed to mount this at?

3) I am going to be using a canton expansion pan, its meant for a 87-93 stock fan shroud but this is obviously different... any suggestions?

Thanks alot for the help. Thanks alot.

Dan

I did it the same way nmerrill did i drilled out a hole in each one of the bottom corners and used a mounting kit i got at autozone. The kit had 4 ties that go threw the rad. and fan and had a clip on the back. The kit also came with pads to put between the fan and rad. hint of advice if possible mount it to the rad. out of the car its a hell of alot easier.

Yea, I was thinking of that as a last resort. I would like to mount it to the shroud since Im going for the "empty" clean look in the motor bay. I actually have a CSR can and a Canton can (waiting for the canton can, will have it in like 2 days). Im not even sure how the canton can bolts up, thats why Im asking.
