Default Radiator

Putting an LS1/T56 in my 70 camaro and I want to use the f-body aluminum radiator and fans. Do I have to make sure I get a radiator from a standard, or can I make one from an auto work? Is there any diff. between the two?

I ordered a Ron Davis unit that will have the inlet and outlet on the passenger side like the LS1 camaros do so you can use the hoses. One of the best Radiators on the market.
