COPO fan clutch problem

[LemansblueCOPO]

Hey, we are currently putting our COPO back together after taking out the motor and detailing everything. The problem we have is that the thermal fan clutch fins are way too close to the radiator. It is an original COPO car with the long water pump and all of the original pieces. Has anyone else had this problem with the fan clutch? Did a special fan clutch go with the COPO cars? Thanks, Steve.
