I dropped my radiator fan when I was trying to unscrew it. It broke a blade off. Can I still use it????

It overheated however within a couple of minutes so then I troubleshot it down to the aux fan not working. I wired the fan direct to the batt and it spun on both hi and low. I then took apart the rad switch and after playing with that for about an hour it dawned on me to check the fuses. Sure enough both the lo and high speed fuses were blown. I replaced them and the fan then worked but still overheated. I followed the bleeding instructions that someone posted and the temp dropped to the middle. With the accelerator down it actually drops to just above the blue. I left the aux fan wired direct at the rad switch so it runs whenever the ignition switch is on. I also dont have the thermostat in but will throw it back in tomorrow to try and keep the operating temp pegged in the middle.

Okay ready to start! Any recommended timing belt kits? After reading all this info I'm definitely replacing the TB WP Thermostat and also the camshaft, crankshaft, and I/M shaft seals.
