Default Griffin rad in 67-69 camaro??

After trying a few things I broke down and bought a direct fit LS rad for my 68. Does anyone have the part number for the hoses that work best for this application. 2006 GTO Ls2 in 1968 Camaro.
Also does the steam pipe hose connect just below the upper rad hose ??
Thanks

Just a note, I installed one and had the electric fan (windstar, for my GM a-body) held with the nylon ties that run thru radiator. My radiator failed in the tubes that run across. I talked to the engineer at Griffen about it and he said it was the worst thing that I could do. Anything you do w/mounting that can cause the radiator to twist can cause this type failure. When the fan comes on it can torque the radiator.

Hoping you can learn from my mistake.

Appreciate the feedback. I bought the Griffin with shrouds and Spal fans. So far went right in just lucky I guess. Just trying to avoid the back n forth auto store run trying to get hoses to fit..
A few part numbers for the hoses would be nice.
Also did u guys hook up the steam line to the fitting under upper hose mount??
Thanks
