Compatibility of fan brackets
My fan bracket is going bad, and I have a replacement (used) Toyota unit, but I am unsure if it's compatible.
My truck is an '89 4Runner with the 3.0 v6, but I have the spring-loaded tensioner version on my early year v6. The newer engine has the hydraulic tensioner version, and both fan brackets are slightly different. The replacement unit I have is from the newer v6.
Does anyone know for sure if they are interchangeable? I don't want to through the trouble of removing mine just for it not to fit.

I am not formiliar with the hydraulic version but I ASSUME that you can tap the oil hole in the block and plug it.
Then use the non hydraulic version.
Anyone else have info on this.....
