I had no original parts worth reusing from my '77 hence using the newer stuff.

well that's good to know it will work I always find out later that my rigging does not work like rigging in the radiator before the engine goes in and nothing lines up rite.. I used all the mounts from the 02 Tahoe a/c condenser to make some radiator mounts and used some spring bushings instead of the bottom round mounts they fit good in the old rad. channel and I tapped out the bottom mount to drill a hole thru the rad. chanel and by luck when I set the rad. down one of the inner fender bolts lined rite up and the spring bushings will hold it in without having to use bolts to bolt it in.
