Okay,

     So I have another question/observation...  Along with the weird pedal
thing, the car is really hard to shift some of the times and at times getting
into reverse is almost impossible.  So I take it these are further symptoms
of the hydraulic cylinder?  And here I thought I was going to get off with
just a return spring...  TIA!

 The clutch pedal wont return means you probably need to rebuild or
replace the clutch master cyl. The cooling fan is quite easy and a very
strait forward job. E-mail me privately for procedures.
