Where's my cooling fan relay?

I have a 1991 Camaro RS 3.1 MPFI, where is my engine cooling fan relay?

Does anyone have a photo or a diagram?

Also, is it correct that grounding the green wire with a white stripe will turn on the fan?

The fan relay is on the driver's side firewall. The fuel pump relay is there too. I dont know which is which on a V6.

I figured it out. There are three identical large relays on the driver's side firewall. Only one of those has green/white, tan/white, red, & black/red wires. This is the fan relay. Also the red & red/back wires are much larger than any of the other wires on any of the relays. On my car the fan relay is the middle one.

Anyway, I spliced into the green/white wire and connected it to ground via a toggle switch. Now, anytime I'm stuck in traffic, I can flip the switch to turn on my radiator fan, and not worry about my engine getting too hot.
