Default condenser fan question

My condenser fan has 2 blades missing on my 1984 928s. Would this be okay as a replacement?

It is 3000cfm and pulls 18 amps. The fuse rating for the current fan is 25amps.

Get a SPAL unit as they are more trusted and those other companies tend to give optimistic CFM ratings. With electric fans you get what you pay for.

What are the specs of the OEM condenser fan?

1200 CFM. I am unsure of the amp draw of it, it does work relatively effectively on keeping the car cool in traffic.
A 2000 CFM SPAL unit is generally the way to go when it comes to replacement fan upgrades as it has sealed bearings and
wont get effected by dust and other debris that these things generally suck up when driving.
