Yeah, take  a very good look at the fan. In addition to the dowel 
hole, it's quite  possible that the surface where the pulley seats has 
been worn such that a  new pulley won't seat flat there. This is 
likely to put the pulley  off-center and out of balance.

You can use the pulley and fan from your  second hand engine, or I 
have all those parts, including the shims  washers, and bolts, 
available here.  
 
Also, take a real good look at the threads on the bolt. I've found that if  
that bolt comes loose (from not being torqued to the 95 to 103 ft lb spec 
in  Bentley), that the threads can get smoothed out (from being bounced 
around), and  the bolt won't hold the correct torque. You might want to use your 
donor engine  parts to fix it.
