I ditched the extra radiator and used a 4kq radiator and lower hose.

Reasons: 1. no A/C.  2. No Death Valley temps.  3. By then Nate and Marc 
(and others) had been running turbo engines hard, with just the 4kq 
radiator, and no cooling problems.

It fits right in, the lower hose does need to be cut slightly shorter as 
the 80/90 thermostat housing sticks out further.

IMHO that extra radiator is just in the way, and as you say, one more 
thing to go bad.
