I'm about to put a LS1 in my S10..I dont see why a LT1 Camaro Radiator and Fans wont work..that's what I currently have in my MCSS and it works perfectly..just had to angle them back a hair.

BTW I saw the screen name and laughed a ltitle bit..

For my turbo Buick ('96) S-10, I used a mid-80's Corvette radiator and a dual 11" SPAL fan unit. For that particular engine, because of the IC piping, it required cutting the core support and moving everything forward as far as possible. It also has A/C and a front mount IC yet runs right at 170° in the heat of summer here in SETX. It's a proven combination, and fairly inexpensive.

For my Mav, I used a cheap Jeg's dual-pass radiator (available in 3 core sizes) so the hoses lined up better, and an old cast-off 16" Buick GN fan. A/C also and zero cooling isues...

I use the stock condenser and stock 4.3 radiator with flex-a-lite 210 fans. Been using this set up for about 4.5 years now in Arizona and it works fine. The temperature will creep up if the A/C is on and it is hot outside. But when I say hot I mean like 110+. I've idled in stop and go traffic at 105 with the A/C on and no problems what so ever.

Just my experience.
