Is there a difference in radiator fan motors that show w/AC vs w/o AC?

My car has AC but one of the previous owners wired the fans to be always on. Will this be an issue? Should this matter at all? I'd want to have it back to turning on at a certain point especially because I've had no problems with my engines temperature.
Rockauto shows two different part numbers for the fans of the same brand.

Could u even get an fbody without AC?
I would say the radiator fan motors, and the 3 relays for them in under hood fuse box would be identical from 1998 to 2002, there's no logical reason for them not to be even if car came without AC. I have the gm service manual for my 2002, covers Camaro and fbird, goes into good detail how the 3 relays are operated by two ground wires from them to engine computer, fans get powered in series and operate at low speed when coolant temp hits 226°f and then powered in parallel to operate at high speed when temp hits 234°f. No mention of any option on them regarding the one way they work.
