We're dealing with an '84 here, not an '04.

No, it isn't.  It's like having a nice cold reservoir of coolant for the 
tstat to let into the engine when it opens.

Although it seems like a wasteful hack - that fan is using about a third 
of a horsepower in raw electricity that has generation inefficiencies.
