Wires near radiator fan

After I put the rad back in I noticed that there are a number of wires near the alternator belt. For example there is the radiator temp sensor wire (bottom of the rad), the fan power wire and I think 1 other one. Can I just zip tie them to the radiator fan shroud (away from the actual fan)? Can't remember how they were before.

Yes.
I use a small piece (+/- 1" or 25mm)of rubber hose split down the length. The wires are bundled inside the hose segment and then i zip tie to nearest safe convenient location.
The rubber helps insulate from heat and reduces abrasion.

Great advice... Love these forums. With all the advice on here my car is going to be bullet proof by the end!
