    Should be able to pinch it off, yes, but watch the temps and get her shut down if it starts climbing. Good luck.

    If this is an air release type, all you need to do is unplug the fan solenoid.

    Should be under the air cleaner housing closer to the engine. Two wire plug. Some have the normal round solenoid shaped type, and others are black rectangular shaped. (with air lines too, of course!)

    You should be able to reach under it, you might have to hunt a bit for it, but the air cleaner shouldn't have to come off. Yes, the fan will run steady.
