Did you break the sides off and inspect the coolant passages?  Or are you
talking about the exterior?

It takes a blade fuse, available at most FLAPS or Foreign parts places. 
You can do lots of wire damage (let the smoke out) upstream if you get a
short downstream of where the fuse is supposed to be.  The fan can also
catch fire (never seen this on an Audi, but on other brands) if left un
fused.

If belt tension is OK, should be fine.

1/4 inch, or 45 degrees?  They should be pretty solid, unlike a "normal"
car with a geared distributor, the V8Q shaft goes into a slot, so you
won't have the same play you get from riding on the gears.

Holy breaker bar, Batman!  Although some of the newer 1/2 inch  guns have
the torque of 3/4 guns.
