If it does not spin by hand DO NOT apply power.

The fact that the driver blower works is a very GOOD sign and indicates the rest of the heat system is working. You are way ahead of the game knowing this.
+1. You have to wonder why the fuse is missing. Could be that it was starting to squeal & the PO opted to disable rather than replace it. As for the clipped wires that isn't 'normal' something has either been disabled or rewired. Not necessarily a problem though.
