Fingers crossed. Not a lot of space as you mentioned!
Sounds good. Airflow can be the concern since so much of the radiator is covered by the cowl/hood. You might need to add some ducting between the bottom of the radiator forward to the grill (think of the stock setup with the lower splash pan and you will know what I mean). This way it directs the air coming into the grill up into the radiator. This was one of the improvements I made to mine to help with cooling.

Not trying to cast doom and gloom just offering somethings I ran into incase you have similar challenges. That is a good problem to have tho as it means its driving and on the road.
