We all have been down the road of acquiring our Cubs from some owner(s) that have cobbled things together. That is to be expected and is part of the restoration process.
YES....Wide frame Cubs are much easier to work on. I have two NF Cubs, a 100 and a 105 and they are light duty play tractors. My workhorses are my 1450 & 784.
Speaking for myself with regards to the cooling fan, the necessity will probably stem from where you geographically live. If you are the the Southern States where it is hot, then YES, it is necessary. Now if you live in the Northern States, you keep your Hydro Unit clean so the heat can dissipate, you probably will have no issues. The IH Engineers had to cover all the bases and load conditions when they decided to place that fan on the drive.
