The floor hole would be alright for air flow except , as EArnold3, stated, it allows hot air to enter the intake of the fan. If it weren’t for that issue it wouldn’t hurt.
I’m not positive on this age of installation but most induced cooling fans motors are 240V and use a three wire (black white green) cord. The white could be a hot leg so don’t assume without checking with a voltmeter. The automotive fuses are better than nothing but they should be reconfigured for the proper voltage.
Your statement was “the motor can’t be moved because the motor base holes are not slotted”. The picture sure looks like slotted holes, maybe you mean they used different mounting holes than the slotted holes. There are a couple of fixes. 1. Remount using the slotted holes. 2. Mount the motor on a plate that is hinged on one side. The weight of the motor or a spring assists the belt tension.
I wish you good luck on your repairs.
