Those fans are definately noisy, probably drive you insane in short order. If you do it make sure to get one with the correct rotation....DON'T ask me how I know.

They do make the flex fans like that to use with a fan clutch, but then that kinda defeats the purpose. Besides, I weighed my clutch fan and clutch and it was right at about 5-7 pounds. The blade might weigh less, but I can't imagine it being much. Like I said though, cooling definitely would not be an issue though.
