Oh man, sounds exactly what I went through. Fan could be moved back & forth (towards/away from engine). Fan is loud, next you'll notice a screeching sound almost like a loose pulley, then you'll get tapping with violent shaking.

I did the same thing...unplugged that fan. Car didn't overheat, but granted temps were under 60. Then it started overheating in traffic when temps started to raise. Really all you have to do is replace the fan motor. But I would find motors for like 60 bucks and then all new fans+shroud for 80-90 bucks as a complete package. An extra 20 for an all new assembly ain't that bad & I think is worth the investment in the long run.
