Hey mate,
Im not sure that is the correct image but if you read down lower
Quote "Transmission Oil Cooler: 11 1/2 in. (4 plate)" So its an Auto Radiator.
So it has an inbuilt oil cooler are these the extra things your refering too?
Regards Rory

That radiator in your link is actually a picture of a LT1 radiator.
That bottom left outlet is for the steamport that connects underneath the waterpump of a LT1 engine, LS1 cars don't have that.
Also on the righthand side there is a small hole for the coolant level sensor.
LS1's do not use a coolant level sensor either.
I recently replaced my old LS1 radiator with a new LT1 radiator like the one in your link. I blocked off both of those holes. The reason I used the LT1 radiator is because it is a little thicker than the original LS1 radiator.
Many LS1 owners upgrade thier radiators with the LT1 radiator, SLP used to sell a modified LT1 radiator for about $300 .

Also (to add to bearcatt's post) all LT1s got the same radiators, manual cars just had block offs in the radiator for the trans cooler.
I used to have the dims of the LS1 vs LT1 rads, I think the LT1 was like 5/8" thicker, maybe not that much but it was a significant amount.

Verdad Gallardo I got creative and used small a piece of PVC pipe, a plug and a cap.
I had to grind and dremel to make them fit. Then I used some flat black paint
over those areas. I wanted the results to look like it came from the factory.
The epoxy I used was locktite marine. You have to mix the epoxy good when applying and let it cure.
