Default Camaro Radiator and AC condensor with truck accessories?

I am putting a '99 4.8 in a 1975 mercedes 280 four door sedan. I want to keep the truck accessories. I think I can actually fit the Silverado radiator but the one I have is smashed. Will a Camaro LS1 radiator work fairly well? Are the trans cooler and inlet/outlets on the same side? How bout the AC condensor? I found a condensor, radiator and fan combo for only $80.

I would think that that Camaro Radiator would be better suited for a car as it would be a lower profile as compared to a taller truck on..??.. you might want to measure and verify yourself. But yes, the hose size and the Trans Cooler should connect up with out issue.. you most likely might need to get new hose and play with different ones to match up.

The condensor should also work, but question would be port location and fittings to mate up with the hoses.. if not, custom hose should solve that problem.

But like all swaps and custom work. It might not be a direct bolt up, some adapter or fab work might be needed..
