if it's a 4 blade fan "No ( unless you can unbolt the blades from the hub) " .If it's a 2 blade fan then there's a good chance that you will not need to remove the rad. But sometimes it is necessary just to tilt it a little ...Put some cardboard on the fins to protect them, be prepared to undo the rods and top hose and just tilt the rad a smidgin .
