Question Need a quick answer before I put the car together

I've got an 87 TII with the AC removed. I'm changing the coolant now and noticed that I can take out the "radiator" for the AC, however, there's a fan, about 1' diameter mounted on it. I think I remember seeing that it was an option, and I'm assuming it helps blow air through that rad and into the coolant's radiator. So my question, if I remove the AC rad and the fan on it, will that affect the cooling, or should it be alright since it was an option and the cars without that option wouldn't have it anyways? Thaks

Without the AC in the car, along with it's condensor (radiator) the car will run a lil cooler. The AC condensor sucks up a good bit of the air flow, so without it alot more air sees the important radiator.
