Radiator Swap

Could I take a radiator from a 1976 Spider and place it in a 1981 without out issues? I have never measured them to see if there are size diff, but I doubt it very much.

Also, has anyone purchased one of the Vick's or Casaba's aluminum jobs and are you happy with it's quality, ease of installation, etc.

Thanks

Im pretty sure its a bit smaller than the 2000 radiators as I took a 2k radiator out of a wrecking yard not knowing and it was too big for my 75 1800 car. Im pretty sure its in the stack of radiators in my back yard. I think I have all three sizes now

I am hoping to pick up a new rad from AR in the very new future. Will be posting all the details with photos etc
