Default Radiator info needed

I am ordering a custom radiator for my 73 camaro with a lq4. did some research and get different info. Some say inlet size is 1 1/4 and outlet is 1 1/2 but alot of swap radiators are 1 3/8 for both. I was going to make it a double pass with both on passenger side so where to put the steam port. I made custom stainless lines with AN fittings on the heads and would really like to have one on both sides of radiator. I just like the idea of it being uniform but is this a bad idea? thanks for any help

If you were wanting to stay driver side inlet, passenger side outlet, a water pump change may help you.

That will not be a problem, but is completely useless to have a second line. Stock vent line tapped into radiator, upper hose or water pump and it's done. Mine is tapped into the back of the water pump and is not even seen.
