I'm doing my first timing belt job (started today, didn't finish). I removed my fan and it's clutch but I think I made a noob mistake. I left the fan laying on it's side as I was working and it stayed there the whole day. I just now leaned it up until I finish the job tomorrow. My question is did I likely ruin the clutch and how can I test it?

Looks like it’s shot. I rolled up a magazine and stuck it in the blades after driving for 30 minutes. Stopped the fan pretty easily. Fan also spins too freely when the car is cold/off. I also have a whirring noise after doing my timing belt. Hoping it’s one of the drive belts or the fan but it’s probably the tensioner…
