The OP has two problems.
1) His current parts do not belong together.
2) Even if they did belong together, they would still place the fan in the wrong position to pull enough air through the radiator. Whenever a TF or later 235/261 goes into an AD, it is best to go with the adapter plate which relocates the '53 water pump in the center of the radiator. An AD era fan will then work without hitting the harmonic balancer.
