I would just go with a Ron Davis Aluminum radiator and be done with it 
1. Ron Davis Radiator w/o transmission cooling
a. 1989-1996 C4 Type V8 All Part No. 1-16CV8996
b. Rated 800 Hp
c. Manual transmission
d. For the Ron Davis radiator the fan shroud inside baffles have to be cut back 5/8 inch so there is not contact with the fins of the radiator. Use a small cut off grinder for that task.
e. I cut the tab on the passenger side of the fiberglass radiator housing (the single tab with larger bolt hole that interferes the most with the oil cooler hoses). The fiberglass radiator housing then slipped on easily without further modifications.

Thanks for the "future info" Cliff. I'll put that in my LT5 "stuff" file.
