Cooling Fan 79 l48

Ok just bought a vet and the cooling fan is shaking......at higher rpms it shakes more and from the shaking it makes the belts make a nasty noise.........

now i checked out the fan and its a 6 blade...and I looked at the replacement and the original is supposed to be a 7 blade...also one of the blades was bent........not badly only to the point that the ( curve was more like ! could this be the source of the shaking??? when i jerk on the fan with the car off it doesnt budge

EDIT

Do you have a clutch fan..??? If so,the clutch could be bad...it can damage your waterpump if so....
