Well, an update. Got 'er outta the shop last night (around 6:30-ish) and took her home, let her cool (and wait for the rain to stop) and around 7:15-7:30 I took 'er out for a quick spin, with light traffic, just to see how she was running and do a quick test-drive before the meet (so I wouldn't get any surprises out there) and ... she overheated. Cracked the brand spankin' new radiator, blew the hoses, and sent a nice geyser of gasseous coolant flying. Took 2 seconds to go from 180F to 260+F. No fans.

I did shut 'er off the instant she went, so we're thinking I got 'er off before I lost the HG, but not 100% on that yet. Still no fans, so Shaun over at NTB's running a diag on her to see if they can get those to work; they came on with A/C but nothing else. Another idea is (the shop in WV) fudged up that thermo when they put in the 180 to replace the 2xx? They ***'d up a lot of other work on this car, so I wouldn't be surprised. (I got written up twice for working on my car in the college lot, and the third time they tow the car ... so I figured I'd take 'er into a "professional" shop)
