How to remove fan/fan clutch? 200 1979

------The fan on my brick is a little loose and makes a rubbing or griding noise from inside, does this mean my water pump may be damaged or does this just have to do with the fan/fan clutch?
------So now I need to remove my fan and fan clutch and I am perplexed at how this is done. There is a large bolt right in the middle of the fan (I have the old metal blade fan) and when i turn this the entire engine turns so this is wrong. I noticed that there are four smaller bolts on the back but I can not get to them because it is such a small area. I am sure that someone had to remove the fan and came across this small problem.
------I am also wondering if I can switch to the plastic bladed "flexi-fan" without any problems? Also I was thinking about just putting an electric fan on and if there was a kit or something for this.
--Thanks for any advise.
