welcome to the board.

post the year of your car.

for now i will assume you're either Gen I or Gen II and my first questions to you would be:

1. what's wrong with your existing fan?

2. what are you trying to accomplish?

You will probably get better guidance if you answer the questions above.

Yes it is wrong because a fan without a clutch will overcool when the engine is cold, create unnecessary drag on the engine, and would most likely restrict air from moving through the radiator at high vehicle speeds.
