I know the outlet on the Champion radiator is on the driver side and the LS requires it to me on the passenger side. My radiator does have the internal tranny cooler built in as well. I'm wanting to know if I can basically cut off my outlet and move it over to the passenger side? I have seen some tahoes with the outlet hose that runs back across the radiator to the passenger side but I think its kinda ugly looking. I would like to utilize this radiator and fan setup if possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Moving the outlet is not likely to work unless the passages in the radiator are vertical. However, I had no trouble making a stock 1972 radiator with a driver's side top outlet work with an LS swap using a top radiator hose for a 2005 Silverado. I suspect the same will work for you, assuming this is a direct fit radiator.
