I just checked it out - 10 pounds of unnecessary crap in a 2 pound box. God Bless Automotive Engineers. I guess an electric fan was too simple of a design. Yeah, for some stupid reason, the fan is hydraulic.

I have a hydraulic fan in my 2001 Lincoln LS, and there is antifreeze in the hydraulic fan reservoir. How do I flush it all out?
