Fan Shroud help!

Check out parts when they arrive not when you are ready to use them! I should know better but I didn't in this case. I bought a Mishimoto radiator and a fan shroud about eight months ago and now ready to use them. The radiator is suppose to be a direct fit, it wasn't as a lot of "direct fits" take some rework. The radiator sat too low in the saddles so it needed to raise it about 1/2" it will work but I had to use the inner holes for the right side top mount. The side tank configuration is the reason. I gave some thought on using the longer bracket on the right side and going over the tank but didn't think it would look good. The shroud is made to fit using the outter mounting position. My question is does anyone know what application used the inner? The mounting holes are 27" on center. Truck is a 69, factory six now a small block in rear position running a long water pump with fan extention. If I can't find shroud that will bolt up and deep enough I will go with electric fans, but rather not. Sorry for the long winded post. As always any help and suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
