Heat sink/ fan for old Pentium Pro 200 needed.

The fan on this old pentium pro is rattling towards its last.
I would replace the fan only but when I went to Newegg to find one they only came with heatsinks.
Newegg lists some from Coolmaster starting at $4 that I suppose would be fine if it fit.
If you have any experience with
1. trying to remove the old hsf from a Pentium Pro
2. getting a valid replacement
please let me know how it's done.
The current fan looks about 1 1/4" across. The heat sink looks big, but shallow.

 
I have removed a heatsink from a Socket 8 PPro. Just use a screwdriver on the 2 hold downs, right above the clip. And my heatsink did not have a fan. Ran just fine.
 
Oh, and a PPro is huge compaired to a socket a/370. Nothing newegg sells will fit. Try Compgeeks.com if you really want a fan. ?I would just use 2 good case fans and a heatsink and be done with it. the PPro's run cool.
