Being an engineer, I would be a tad worried about the forces on the bolts, which would be extra long to deal with a spacer. On a normal fan, there are no torque differences between the fan and the pulley (through the spacers) thus no differential sheer forces on the bolts. However, a fan clutch has the fan rotating at different speeds than the fan pully, thus places sheer loads on the bolts and now those bolts are longer. The different rotational speed of the fan/clutch will try and twist the assembly in relationship to the spacer and twist the spacer in relationship to the fan pulley...
