Spoken like an engineer.  As a technician, I know the most expensive hardest
to replace component always protects the fuse.

Clark's is correct.  The original switch is of sufficient capacity for the
original circuit.  By design, the fuse must be the weakest link in the
circuit.  The original circuit has sufficient capacity to operate the new
blower without increasing the amperage size of the fuse even though the
amperage draw is higher in the later model blower motor.  Therefore, the new
motor requirements are not exceeding the design of the original circuit.
The new motor will operate at full efficiency with all the original parts in
place.  Now, if the switch has been degraded over time it should be replaced
... as should any and all other  degraded connectors regardless if one
changes the blower motor or not.
