3rd Gen radiators

I have a 90 GXE automatic with SOHC. I'm looking at an eBay auction that is selling a 1 row radiator.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT

But, Advance is saying that I need a 2 row radiator.

http://www.partsamerica.com/PartDeta...ype=31&PTSet=A

What's the final word? 1 row or 2 row?

if you can pay the $...get the 2 row. if you're on a budget 1 row would probably work out for you.

i put in a 1 row and its worked fine, but the screws from the radiator fan to the radiator dont thread into the radiator. sometimes this happens with non oem radiators i endedup using zipties. its a very easy job but probably easyier with a single row if its thiner, because you dont have a bunch of clearence between the radiator and the engine.

they won't sell to me directly.
I just got off the phone with their nearest distributor.
and they're willing to work with me.
so yes they are added, I really need to update my line card, it's so obsolete

the copper normal has metal tanks and aluminum normaly has plastic.

he's checking which one they have on the shelf right now, pretty sure it's the aluminum one though.
