In regards to "blocking" part of the radiator, the factory shroud does the same thing. That is to allow the fans to draw air through the radiator more efficiently.

Our radiator is 70mm thick compared to the 30mm thick alternative and 18mm thick stock radiator. Running a much thicker radiator core increases coolant capacity as well as increases heat transfer. This also allows us to run a substantially larger auxiliary heat exchanger in the end tank for better oil cooling (trans or engine). Basically, the heat exchanger in our radiator is large enough that you don't even need to run an air-oil cooler on an automatic transmission...it does a spectacular job on its own.
OK, so the two questions that I think are most important are:
1. Can this radiator support FI oil cooling (assuming no Auto) without an additional air-oil cooler? You seem to suggest that, but I am not sure if that's talking stock car or FI car.
2. Where is the AC condenser? Is that the black, smaller radiator in the pictures above? And if so, where is that mounted?
