1988 Iroc Cooling Fans

I have an 1988 Iroc Camaro with the 5.7 350 V8 in it. If my research is correct this camaro came from the factory with the duel cooling fan set up. The main fan is supposed to be controlled by the ECM and come on at 230 degrees while the secondary fan is controlled by the A/C and comes on at 238 degrees. One of the previous owners took it upon themselves to redo the radiator fans in an interesting way. This camaro no longer has the A/C and has a delete pulley in it's place now. As for the fans, I can't tell if they are original of after market fans but they are wired directly to the battery and have wires running to the dash board on two separate switches with no relays in the system so the switches get to hot to touch after about a minute. I believe i have found the original wires for the fans all cut off and wire nutted together. Is there a good AC kit out there to add the AC back in as well as a harnessing kit to fix and/replace the harness for the dual fans?
I have attached pictures of what I believe is the old fan harnessing and where the AC should be. Any help or advice is appreciated.

What I believe is the Original wiring for the fans

Missing AC

Don't know if after market

Sorry to tell you but thats a bad hack job without original parts, the fan shroud on the IROC covers the fan blades those are 2 of the same blades, the fan shroud also covers the back of the rad and pulls air from the front air dam under the car to cool off the rad, by looking at it it seems like those are fans from a z28 5.0

Do you know where I can get the right parts to try and bring it back to original?

Re: 1988 Iroc Cooling Fans

Are you in Canada or the states?
In Canada you can call a buddy of mine in Thamesford Ontario company name Redline, he will send you whatever you need. In the states first place I would look is Rockauto but I personally get all my parts from Summit Racing, they have OEM parts. If you need any help let me know at noymfbja@hotmail.com I'll get you whatever info you need about these cars, mechanical, electrical, vacuum, suspension interior or anything, if I cant find it, it doesnt exsist.

Hawks motorsports has a ton of old stuff. You can also try Classic Industries.

It is more expensive than free. What I can say is that their website does not do well at estimating shipping across multiple parts. They have been good to me on refunding excess shipping costs once the items are packed.

Re: 1988 Iroc Cooling Fans

Thats ok, but I've been dealing with summit racing since the 1980's, have never had a problem with their returns, but if an order has not been correct it was because I ordered the wrong part, and even so summit never cared they help me return it for the right part, they even sent me the part that I needed with only my word of return info from the post office.
