Yes, both the split reservoir and broken fan will cause you problems. Had a DOA fan on my previous '87 and the single fan could not keep up on a hot day......can only imagine its worse on a S/C'ed...

I'd say even with the rack out he will still need 4-6 hours to get the motor mounts replaced. Lowering or removing the rack is just a small part of the motor mount job. You then have to

I personally don't see much advantage to the swap. The GT trans is not "weak" to my knowledge but Porsche did add an oil cooler to the GTS model. The final drive ratio is also the same.
