the aircon fan, seized solid, rotten casing, knackered, can it be left as is? Removed? And car still function, no lights etc, or has anybody got a non seized one for sale?
 
When you say seized do you mean as in a seized bearing/s? or do your mean leaves and trash got in it and burnt up the motor?
The blower motor is easy to remove and work on.
Mine before...

Fan motor is rotten and so not usable.

You can get replacements from abroad or modify another motor to fit

Do you mean the fan in front of the radiator? if so I think it should only kick in over 27 degrees. I took mine off and aircon still worked but you can get replacements for a price.
