72 C20 LS Swap/Build

[jjzepplin]

I haven't got it hooked up yet but I am going with the 1999 Trans Am radiator and fans as well as the Condenser. I am trying to figure out how to keep them in the mounts on the radiator though. Seems a large bump may send them skyward and out of the clips that hold them. I am using the stock harness for the TA for relays etc. Seems we both are on the same path.

The Trans Am radiator looks the same as the 02 Camaro. My dad who is doing most of the actual work (truck is in his garage) is thinking some rubber grommets on the bottom to support it. He mentioned that the top brackets might need to be modified as well. Might be working on it this weekend and will get some pics if we get that far.
