For my car, I had to cut the flange off the stock radiator mounts.
I had to bang the existing sheet metal just a little here and there to get the fit to be tight - keep in mind, tight is good to keep air flowing around the radiator.

Stock battery must be relocated; the stock battery tray gets in the way.
I've heard of people using really tiny gel-cell's, but I don't like running small CCA rated batteries in my street car; these set-up's notch or modify the stock battery tray.

It's a really really tight fit.
The rad cap is the closest thing to the stock (turbo ) hood.
We drop the rad until the radiator cap barely clears - like 1/4" clearance.
Yeah, the bottom of the rad ends up slightly lower than the oil cooler, but the front sway bar / engine subframe sits about the same or slightly lower.
