Default '70 Judge Fan

When I purchased my '70 RA III Auto A/C Judge, it had what appeared to be a five blade fixed (non-clutch mounted) flex fan. I thought that all A/C cars came from the factory with a non-flex blade clutch fan of six or more blades. I'm trying to figure out what is the correct fan for this application. I'd appreciate any help in this area, and if anyone happens to have a correct fan available, I would consider purchasing one, prefereably one with a date code that would work for a September '69 car.

I was under the impression that all Ram Air cars came with
a flex fan with fan spacer and no clutch, regardless of whether the car had A/C or not.

All AC cars got the 7 blade clutch fan, including the Ram Air III cars.

Nope, not all A/C cars received the clutch fan.

...and yet the 69 428 HO (390 HP) AC car would have a 7- blade flex fan. 68 too. Am I right?
