Default PTK question

I just bought a new skid plate and after comparing it to my old one, it looks like my old one was modified and the radiator support beam was moved forward towards the front bumper. The car had a stock radiator so I'm assuming it had to be tilted to clear the charge pipe. I'm going to be running a Dewitts radiator (shorter version) so I was wondering if I still needed to move the support beam forward on my new skid plate?

I'm not sure if the support beam had to be moved forward for a different reason as well?

I'd drop Nick Yoskin a PM as he is pretty knowledgeable about these units.
