How do you get the fan out?
I've gotten the fan loose but it hangs up on metal lines on the passenger side or the upper radiator hose on the drivers side. How do you remove the upper radiator hose clip or is there a way to remove the fan without removing a hose and not breaking a plastic clip? I'm trying to get my alternator out. I've heard of lifting the engine, but I don't want to smash the oil pain or do any damage under there. I've searched and I cannot seem to find these instructions.

This is for the M272/M273 engines, but it should be essentially the same:

Disconnect the metal transmission cooling line on top of radiator on the passenger side and move it back out of the way and your fan should come out on an angle, passenger side 1st.
