radiator questions

Hey gang I need more advice. Finishing my 68 and got to installing factory radiator and just did not look good with all my other new goodies. Added a/c and thinking about going with aluminum replacement. Has anyone done this, good idea or bad? Is one made to fit in factory saddles and straps? did you use A trans cooler or go with a radiator that cools tranny as well. LOts of choices so please tell me what you did and are you happy with it.
Thanks
Gary

Factory 4 core with internal and external trans coolier's. Automatic's like cooling. I've had the 700-R4 now for about 10 years with no trouble.

Re: radiator questions

I've got the factory 4-core with a large (MK8) electric fan and so far it cools ok. I've got my a/c working now and it doesn't seem to heat up much more, but the nuclear part of the year is over. I have the factory trans cooler in the rad tank.
We'll see how it does next summer....
