I recently purchased an electric water pump proform GM. I was wondering if anyone knew besides the normal procedure of hooking it up, if anything else is needed to hook up my fan? There's no pulley on this water pump? Do I need to get an electric fan for my radiator or is there anything that I can do?

Alright so once i've gone electric pretty much everything needs to be electric except the alternator and power steering and the crank.
The fan that i've got
778-141-647
from www. Jegs. Com

It has a thermostat in it to be controlled by temp which I like and can set it at 180-240
i will set it at 180 all the time.
