Replacement 7805 pinout
According to a post I saw earlier (somewhere on one of the groups!)... I believe that this fan is actually optional... particularly if you have taken the steps to ensure the 5v rail is protected from the 24v... Jetguy will know for sure though! :-)
Find someone who will mod your board. I'll do it for free and can turn it around in a day provided you cover shipping to me in South Carolina.
The fan noise is exaggerated by the Replicator acting as a guitar box. Mine has been noisy at start up for months now. I finally replaced it recently when I decided to replace all fans at the same time following another fan blade incident.
The "noisy" fan, unmounted, was not overly noisy. Still, it is probably wiser to replace it than to suffer from fan failure.
