Engine Cooling

I have a question on engine cooling and would like to hear any thoughts or especially experience.

My question is: Is a 4 core radiator really necessary? My 68 is going to have a relatively stock engine with the exception of a mild cam for more low end. The truck will have aftermarket heat and air and it will be a manual trans. The rear will be a 3.08 which will keep the R's low on the hiway.
She will be mainly driven in warm weather and languish in the garage during the winters.

Im wanting to use the three core I already have, install a shroud and a clutch fan. Didnt this combo work 40 years ago when the trucks were new? (or did it?) The p o of my truck had double 19" fans on the truck and still had trouble keeping it cool??
