Correct cooling fan for 1968 a/c H/O

I need to know what the correct cooling fan is for a 1968 H/O with a/c. From what I can tell it's a 6 blade curved blade unit 19in with clutch. Is this correct? Thanks for your help!

As strange as it sounds my 1968 442 project car, AC & heavy duty cooling, TH400, has a simple 4 blade non-clutch fan. The car has been off the road since 1988 so if it was changed then it happened long ago. All the pullys line up and it looks factory to me. There's several members here who are very knowledgeable about 1968's so hopefully someone will comment who knows for sure. John

As far as I know somebody changed out your car's fan long ago John.

The four blade fan is standard but if it has heavy duty cooling or air conditioning it should have a clutch fan, I think?

YUP - my car had a flex fan on it. Just bought a 6 blade off ebay and getting a hayden hd clutch fan part # 2747. Still has the original shroud so I should be good to go. Thanks for all your help!
