Is the 5 blade fan correct for a '69/350 auto w/o ac-or put another way, would it have been standard as part of the extra cooling package.
The original fan would be the C8SE-A marked one according to buildsheet examples of GT350 without AC

In this 69/70 GT350 context that 4 blade fan typically would be used with the base narrower radiator. Cars equipped with the extra cooling radiator used a different fan.

Just offering what the buildsheets for 69 GT350 show. Thought that both AC and non-AC used the same but the buildsheets showed differently. Any reason why AO Smith would change them?
Looked through my pictures and with the shrouds and the odd angle didn't find a clear picture of a 69 wo AC's fan
I believe you will find the four bladed C90E-A fan was used on many 1969 GT350s without AC. I do not think AO Smith would have changed those, most likely a production line item.
I understand this does not conform to the actual build sheets
