no you dont need to change the rad support , you must run a 73-74 center support bracket and end brackets that hold the grille !!!!!! i changed my 78 grille for the 73 i couldnt get a 73 center support at the time and modified mine!!!! there are additional side supports that are not pictured near both head lights , the center support is the one i modified !!!!
oh i made the side supports in the pic aswell

Re: 73 grille
Naaa, NO one has found any in a store yet. They are really hard to come by, But I've heard some vendors may be working on a replacement.
