Ben - Welcome to the Barn, and to all things about these quirky but lovable cars. As J Franklin has stated, the four blade fan is NOT the original steel two-blade fan that folks are concerned about. Here is a thread we had last week on this very subject, with photos. Fire that car up and drive to your tech day, and ask for help replacing the fan. If you have the parts, this would be a good time to replace the radiator hoses (preventative) as well.

If you don't know the history of the car, it might be a good idea to also drain and refill all the fluids with fresh - oil, transmission, differential, coolant.

The emergency brake is adjusted at the rear backing plate where the actuating rod U-shaped section attaches to the actuating arm. Loosen the lock nut, remove the cotter pin and clevis and remove the U-shaped adjuster from the actuating arm (goes into the backing plate). Turn the adjuster in or out to affect the length of the actuating rod.
