I've read about 10 pages worth on water pumps and removing the fan clutch and I could not find a definitive answer...is the fan attach with standard thread or reverse thread?

Look on the corner of the fan shroud near the battery. In raised letters
it should say " RH threads on fan clutch"

edit--standard threads.

OK so not reverse threads, good.
 






Just to confirm since I just removed it, it is standard thread.
 












Still check the fan shroud. Apparently it's different on some years, but it should always be listed there.
