What do you think about the fan clutch? What kind of symptoms occur when it fails? It turns smoothly but it won't spin freely as it has internal friction.

Ok, try removing the belt again and check each pulley for
axial play (facing the pulley you want to see if you can press in on the left edge and pull out on the right edge or vice versa). I guess you could call it "wobble". I had the A/C pulley bearing go out on mine and found it by doing this.
The fan clutch sounds normal. Symptoms of a bad one are temperature gauge readings above 80 that don't resolve themselves and fan spinning for over three seconds after engine shutdown. With the hood open, you can hear it cut in and out once the engine is hot. Fan will "roar" when clutch engages.
