Apple sold a fan you could install in your IIgs. Most people didn't think it was very effective so you don't see them too often. I'd either remove it or just unplug the power wire from the IIgs motherboard.

Fans come in standardized sizes, so if you measure the distance between
the mounting holes and the dimensions of the existing fan, you can buy a
replacement as long as it uses the same voltage. Fans typically also
have their flow rates and noise listed, so you can pick one that is on
the quieter side to use as a replacement. You could look at DigiKey or
Mouser or other electronic parts distributors.
