Q1: is that robbing power?
Answer; Of course it is; it takes power to drive any fan. But,
On the street, with an automatic and street gears, you'll probably never feel the difference
Q2: should I leave it be?
Answer; If it ain't overheating, then leave it be
Q3: is the clutch an option?
Answer; Lemmee put it this way;
If I had an overheat issue, I would either get rid of, or move that rad; and make room for a 7-blade Thermostatically-clutched fan, running inside a shroud.

The quickest way to "a lil more" on take-off, is to stall the engine up to where the power is. This is especially so when the car is handicapped with hiway gears.
