93-96 has 1 3/8" core
97 has 1" core
98-02 has 7/8" core
A lot of us 98-02 guys switch to the LT1 radiator for this reason. Larger cooling capacity, and it fits directly is place of the LS1 radiator.

SLP used to sell a "Heavy Duty" radiator for 98-02s. It was a GM 93-96 radiator with the fitting epoxied shut.
If you're not using a low coolant sensor (98 harness only), you'll have to either put a sensor in there to plug it, or do like I did and put an expansion plug in there. Everyone said my expansion plug wouldn't hold, but it's been holding, leak-free, for 14k miles.
Hey, while we're on the topic of radiators, what is the sensor or whatever it is on the passenger side of my LT1 radiator? It's big and square and looks like it had a two wire connector that's supposed to go into it.
There's really no need to put the PCM inside... it's perfectly weatherproof once it's plugged in. In factory f-bodies, they were always put behind the wheel well, next to the airbox on the passenger's side. If you put it inside the firewall, you'll probably have to extend your harness. Depends on if you wanna go the extra mile for beauty.
mine's under the hood on the inner fender, and there is barely room for it--had to relocate it this weekend when I mounted my AC compressor (Sanden SD5H14 w/ kwikperf brackets). I need to redo mine and put it inside somewhere.
