The fan probably didn't come on because the hot coolant never made it to the radiator. The thermo switch on the upper left corner controls the fan. If I recall correctly, one fan was originally dedicated to the cooling system, the other to the AC. The cooling system fan would come on when the temp in the radiator reached the switch's temp. The AC fan comes on when the AC is turned on. Lots of cars have been rewired so that both fans come on when the temp switch in the radiator gets hot.
The most likely hose to break is the small elbow that fits on the front of the engine, near the thermostat housing.
When you refill the coolant, you've got to open the bleed nipple on the thermostat housing to bleed the air out of the system.
