My mechanic said i need new viscous fan because its loose ,Do i need a special fan because its an AC car and where can i find one.
 
They make a few different sizes. I'm guessing your radiator is similar to my 67 and it uses an 18" fan....if I remember right. I know 20 is too big if your using the factory shroud.
 
Ive got a 18" for sale if youre looking for one.

If you are using the original 2 piece metal shroud, the largest fan you can use is a 17", and with A/C I would suggest a 6 or 7 bladed fan! The clutch itself can be one right off the shelf, and would directly replace the spacer if there is one in place!
 
You are corect I just measured, it is 17" fan blade if i could find the right clutch i will reuse the fan blade it is a 6 blade fan with original boxed shroud

This is the one I'm running, and as far as I know, only the length of the stem would make a difference! Pic 1-2 are the unit I'm running, pic 3-4 are one I have on the shelf with a slightly longer shaft! I would take my fan to the parts store and just make sure it is the correct bolt spread!

It is still on the car and i could not figure out how to measure it so I put my hand around it 12 and 6 and tried to keep my fingers in the same place and measured it looks like 6"
 
It's not just the shaft length -- there are different kinds of fan clutches. We see the two main (functional) types in the photos in this thread. Plain-front clutches are purely centrifugal. The ones with the coil spring on the front are thermostatic; that's the kind you want. More info here.
