Which rad fan does what

One of the two rad fans on my 2007 Fit (which has A/C) has rusted out, but neither an online parts manual nor my Haynes manual seems to even acknowledge that the car has more than 1 fan.
it’s the one on the left side from the driver’s POV, ie driver’s side in countries that drive on the right! If it’s just for the A/C, maybe I can live without it. If it’s the main engine cooling fan, not so much.
Any wisdom would be much appreciated. Also, whether it’s possible to extract the fan assembly without removing the radiator.

The left one (driver's perspective) closest to the radiator cap is the radiator fan. There may be a way to "wiggle" the assembly free but it is unknown to me

Many thanks for the input and for the copies from
the manual. This is such an out-of-left-field problem. Fan motor got so rusty that it fell out of its mountings in the shroud. Do you happen to know the secret for unplugging the cable to the motor? I’m not used to working on Hondas — this car was so reliable I never needed to!

MOTOR, COOLING FAN is honda part no. 19030-RME-A51

Two-prong connector with a squeeze tab release.
The assembly view from the attached link might shed some light on the matter:

Thanks again. All done. FWIW, with the air-intake assembly removed (plus the reservoir bottle which is bolted to the fan housing) i had very little trouble getting the fan assembly in and out, without having to remove anything else.
