Check out Summit or Jegs brands....made by Northern in USA, and very good stuff, and they cool unbelievably well. About 300$

See if they will give you the dims and rows on both rads, most likely the w/o a/c rad is smaller. I'd still with the larger of the two units.

If you can stand the price, I'd highly recommend going with a 4 row version for a 454 or diesel. Too much rad is great, not enough will get you in trouble.

I dunno about the too much radiator thing, i have a 4 core with heavy duty fan clutch and 195 t-stat and when it's cold out in Indiana, i can't get the engine up to normal op temp, even with cardboard covering 1/3 of the radiator surface and also the grille completely covered. In Arizona and hot summers it did fine, but since he's in a colder climate i personally dont think a 4 core is going to be worth any extra cost. Although i believe replacing my heavy duty cutch with a standard one may help alittle, those heavy duty units pull a ton of air for quite awhile.

3 row will be fine, and getting a radiator from 1-800-radiator gains a lifetime warranty.
