I would also suggest changing the thermostat since you have the system open.

Thank you very much. Very quick question. If i'm replacing the radiator fan only (not the radiator) do I still have to drain the coolant and ATF fluid? Or do I only remove the 4 bolts that hold the fan shroud?

Just the 4 bolts for the fan. No fluids involved here at all.
