Well, props to Lethal Towing - the guy took a lot of time and got the car on the flat-bed with no problems. $65 from Charlottesville to my place out in the boonies. I'm going to dig into this thing over the weekend to figure out exactly what happened.
As I recall, the fan was wobbling a bit after I put everything back together the last time - I didn't think anything of it at the time. The actual fan clutch is straight, but it doesn't turn very smoothly at all. In fact, I'm not even sure that it was working properly - it might have been turning the fan at engine speed when it should have loosened up, which would have exaggerated the fan wobble and caused it to hit stuff and start breaking things (especially considering we weren't exactly idling along). I'll post some pictures later.
