Yeah, it sounds like it. If you really want to test it *WARNING/DISCLAIMER
AT YOUR OWN RISK* roll a newspaper up tight and attempt to drag the fan on
the downward side at idle.
We did this with our BMWs
For me, the wobble tells it anyway. Your hood should be OK, it's the
radiator to worry about. It's softer.
Again, stupid human trick so beware if you are not sure.

Subject: [Spridgets] 1500 cooling fan clutch
How do you tell when the viscous cooling fan clutch is about to give up
the ghost?
I've got a little wobble I can feel when I wiggle the fan (stopped) and
an intermittent "groan" coming from the front of the engine that I can't
pin down precisely and am wondering if the fan clutch is about to let go
and send the fan through the hood.
Thanks.
