Default LS2/PT88---22x19x3" radiator too small?

In order to fit my turbo in my engine bay I have to sit it sort of next to the radiator. The radiator I found for my car is 22x19x3...would this be too small for my setup? Last thing I need is for it to over heat.

Good. That will make fitting the kit MUCH easier. What fan do you use? Im going to end up using the 160* thermostat just to help keep things a little cooler even though everyone recommends stock being the best.
