    Ok, so my post didn't get deleted and I couldn't find a way to delete it so here goes.

    As stated, I purchased the above set. Turns out the fan clutch was too short and caused the fan blade to touch the belts when installed. My OEM(?) Aisin fan clutch is shown below next to the new fan clutch.

    So, it was returned and I purchased a Aisin from Rock Auto. Big shout out to Rock Auto for coming through. Item was delivered in a day and it was cheaper than Amazon even with shipping.

    Again, the old fan clutch I pulled out next to the new Aisin (FCT073). The new one is actually a little bit beefier but height is right.

    Installation was smooth, and done.
