Looks like aftermarket aluminum pulleys. Is the water pump being under driven? What fan are you using? Oem or aftermarket? Clutch fan? Flex fan?
EDIT - On rereading your post I see you mentioned clutch fan.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

I had the exact same issue with my '70 Duster 360 combo, and just took care of it yesterday.
I went to Home Depot and got a black cement mixing tub for about $5. The plastic it's made of is flexible enough that it follows the upper curve of the shroud easily. I cut a strip wide enough and long enough to cover the gap end to end. Screwed it down into the shroud with some stainless machine screws. This left a very small (1/8") second gap due to the weld along the top of the radiator, so I cut another strip to cover that. Probably could have left that little gap alone but it bugged me so I covered it. The pics tell the story. Obviously not a show car or factory restoration.

I used some aluminum angle and used rivets to attach it.
