Then I'd still have to find a fan. The OEM fan won't fit over the
mounting flange of the new clutch and has a too-small bolt circle.

  If you have machine tools it should be quite easy to fabricate an
adapter plate . It doesn't have to be something as skinny as a piece of
1/4" plate ...

An adapter between the clutch BC and the fan BC? Unfortunately the mounting
flange of the clutch is too big to fit through the center hole of the OEM fan.
Apart from that little niggle the idea would work. It would definitely work
in a case where the fan  was larger than the clutch.
