Excellent video John - I actually hate the sound of a locked clutch fan. One of these days, I hope to swap in an electric. I did it on my 78 vette and it really changed the personality of the motor - not to mention, the electric fan keeps it INSANELY cool. I did upgrade to a heavy duty aluminum radiator at the same time, though.

I don't like the sound of a locked in fan clutch my self, sounds mean, but it cuts off alot of the ROAR of the engine.
Funny my '89 F150 with a stock 1 row Rad, original fan clutch (truck only does have 65k miles tho) never gets hot in traffic or anything.
The dash gauge always reads around or below the N of NORMAL.
And it doesn't have A/C, all 6cyl's had no fan shroud on non A/C models. Just a top piece of plastic.

I think my 460 is a 2 or 3 row, never had an issue with overheating. (neither has the 78, I just love the way removing the fan and shroud cleans up an engine bay)
