What I did was get my torch out and melt off the radiator tanks. The tanks are brass and the rad is copper. The scrap places will pay more if the metal is what they call "Clean". In other words, separate the different metals from one an other. I had around 65 lbs. of copper & brass the other week, and got $107 from it. Last week I had 800 lbs of engine parts and suspension parts and they paid me $67. This stuff was just taking up space in the garage.
