I'll probably slide the motor toward the rear and down as much as absolutely possible and put the radiator as close to stock location as possible.

That's the way I did the motor on my 87 but the radiator was positioned in the support. I ran a long waterpump and an 1-1/2 inch spacer for a 19in Flex-a-lite fan. Then I built a shroud out of two Toyota pickup shrouds and some extra sheet metal.

Is the vette rad you guys are referring to the one that's recomended in the JTR manual?
