Default Radiator compatibility

I have the '98 LS1 drive train (manual) in what was a '95 v6 (AT).

my radiator cracked on the side and i can't remember what the radiator was out of (i think it was an LT1 radiator). i've read that the 93-97 3.8L v6 radiator is compatible. or should i get the LT1 radiator? or since im buying a radiator go ahead and get the LS1 radiator; will it match up in the '95 front end?

which one should i buy? thanks!

look the Lt1 differs than v6.
there is an extra hose in the lt1, in my country I found the v6 side and we drilled a whole and made an extra hose out at the bottom of the side.
cause the water pump of the camaro has an extra pipe out other than Lt1 on caprice or on suburban.

v6 raditator is 93-02. v8 has a few different styles. may have to get some measurements but i think they fit its just the new style air intake wont fit over the older style radiator cover. .

alright. if it's just the air intake that will get in the way, i've already got it taken care of. i'll just go with the LS1 radiator then. thanks!
