its the fan that is connected to the engine. that the main serpentine belt goes around. its meant for cooling the radiator.
you remove it to lessen parasitic drag, but it seems like most people only remove the fan itself, and leave the clutch system, Id like to remove all of it.
the fan has absolutely nothing to do with the ac/oba that is in the quote

Yeah. I hope you mean to put another fan in the place of your mechanical fan. You can't just remove the clutch fan and put nothing in its place.....otherwise you will be overheating your Jeep in about 3 minutes.

Oh ok now i got it and thanks for clearing that for me
No how hard is it to convert the ac to air compressor cuz i have heard several buddies say it was cheaper then buying a complete kit
Just wondering what the pros and cons are and if worth it
