Default Need mount ideas for 2000 Camaro Rad

I'm looking for some ideas on how to mount a radiator from a 2000 Camaro into my '69 Firebird. I know it's a popular radiator set up for the conversions, but I have not found any real good pics or info on how it gets mounted. What have you guys found to be successful and not cost an arm and a leg?

I mounted a 2002 radiator and fan setup in my 71 Nova. It should be the same exceot for maybe the top support panel.

Follow my build thread for details. But all it took was to drill a hole for the radiators bottom peg into the radiator support, use the rubber donut. And use the 69 top panel and its rubber mount oads. Fit like stock.

Thanks, I think I did see yours, or at least I saw a couple others and just couldn't get enough detail from them.

I was interested also, so I dug through the posts and found it. 1/2 way down this page (frame #70)

Cheers,
I can't tell if the Firebird core support has the lip on the bottom like the Nova appears to. I think the best way is to mount some sort of "L" bracket for the grommets and use the stock top plate.
