I am getting an AM3+ socketed motherboard and chip, however i have been looking at cpu fans. None of them that i found have said they are for AM3+ sockets. My current cpu fan is this which i am using on an AM3 Socket:

It just worries me because it splits AM2 and AM2+.

I am almost positive that an AM3 cooler will work fine with a socket AM3+ motherboard. I think the bracket is the same. Here is one of the best budget coolers that specifically says it's for AM3+ if you are just looking for a new cooler.
