If I remember correctly, at my site [and this was another DBA] we lost the
disk
holding the non-SYSTEM Tablespace with the renamed SYS.AUD$ [as SYS.AUD$$]
table. We did an ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE OFFLINE DROP and recovered
the database and switched off auditing. That should work.

Hi,
Oracle used to sanction moving aud$ and then they didn't sanction it anymore. Not sure what they current view on moving it is - probably best to simply ask. This was discussed on comp.databases.oracle.server last year 8/9/03 and this is what i answered then if it helps:

You mention moving sys.aud$ to another tablespace, whilst this is common sense Oracle no longer support doing this as some poor customer could not recover when this had been done. I don't believe Oracle have changed advice on this as yet. There is a note on Metalink about it. The solution if it is moved is probably to switch audit off whilst recovering. Jonathan discussed the following with me some time back:
<snip> I haven't done any tests on the theory - it was just a surmise that when the complainant was trying recovery, they needed to recover the tablespace with the aud$ table in it, but were running with audit on, so the recovery processes couldn't log themselves until after the recovery had completed. </snip>

The snip section was Jonathan Lewis's thoughts on this to me.
