Have you connected the fan to your intake manifold? If so, what does it do? I'll have to find mine, but as I recall the motor part is crimped and can't easily be taken apart.

If you have a good vacuum on it, try to turn the fan with your fingers. If it still won't spin, I'd squirt some ATF in the vacuum hole and spin the blade several times, then try it again.
