Daverb,
I have pretty much followed the same course as you with the smog pump. Bought the cover plates, disassembled what I could to install them, then punted to a later time when I might be taking the intake manifold off. I've run with the pump hose blocked for some time. I get an intermittent CEL on starts when its cold (< 50F) and just clear it with the Durametric tool when I get around to it. Shouldn't apply to you since I assume you have the ROW tune.
I will concur with Laurie that you don't need any of the fans. We both live in much hotter climes than the UK (Texas and Utah) and as long as the car is moving you are fine. If you get stuck on grid for an extended period just shut it down.
Max
