If it's the stock fan with a clutch, then yes, you should beable to turn it by hand. Maybe you have a flex fan? Is it metal? Stock ones are a white (but when they get old, they turn yellowish).

an 89 should have come with MAF.

it does matter a little if the motor (thus fan clutch) is warm or not. but it should spin a half turn at least if you give it a decent spin.

it is hard to help more since it is rather subjective. from what you said, it sounds like it has seen better days.

good luck.

oh yeah, pic loaded (Dial up) and that does look oem. it sorta looks like you have a clutch bolt backing out.

good luck.
