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.
