if the wiring harness for the 2nd fan is already there.. might as well put it in.. if not.. then i guess its up to you whether or not you want to bother cutting up the existing wiring harness, getting the right connector and wiring it up... my guess is that there's a slight model difference.. like.. AT v. MT, turbo v. non turbo, AWD v. FWD.. that sort of thing.. if the car came with 1.. then 1 should be fine.. if you can get the 2nd to work, its just a nice to have..
from what i've read you need to do like 3 or 4 fill, run engine and drain cycles to get like 90% of the old coolant out.. or you can use an exchanger machine that does the job in one shot.. but.. since its just a beater.. you could just do it the hack way like it did...
just hook up all the lines.. fill up the rad until you can't fill it anymore.. fill up the overflow tank.. run the motor, a bit.. wait until the coolant cools down.. see if you can stick more coolant into the rad and the overflow tank.. and like.. the first couple of times you drive just keep checking if you can stick in more.. don't forget to use 50/50 mix of distilled water and coolant.. distilled water's cheap.. no need to sub in tap water haha
