I saved it this time, Jim.

Thanks Jim!

I'm betting on it... 8^) 

The a/c and non a/c 16V radiator is basically the same radiator, except
for the top outlet. 

The upper hose should clear the alternator if it is mounted in the A/C
compressor's spot.

One way to narrow it down is to wrap a rope that fits the pulleys, 
then you measure the rope and get several belts around that length...
