I dont use anything and it stays put just fine. The upper hose keeps it steady on drivers side and rigid condenser lines keeps it steady on passenger side. I used rubber edge pieces on top plate that was included in S/C kit and it holds tightly against both sides of the taller top Dewitt's side framing I guess its called so it all stays nice and tight.
I also have dual Spal fans and custom Dewitt's shroud so I have plenty of clearance between down tube and fan shroud so even if radiator moved back and forth a little it still doesnt hit against the down tube. The factory shroud was way too close for my liking and always rubbing the down tube.

The thicker and shorter core IMHO cools the same as a stock taller thinner core. I see no difference I think because the 2" cut down holds the same amount of water as the stock one does but less efficient because of the thicker core.
