Agree. There is contradictory reports on the web. (No surprise! LOL)

The Hanes repair manual has: "place the fan clutch  with the radiator side  DOWN" which seems like another way of sayiing "When storing the fan and fan clutch make sure to position the fan clutch shaft facing straight up or the fluid may leak into the fan bearing and cause it to fail."
