Default ~Radiator support after supercharger~

So I finally figured out that my corvette had the A&A Supercharger on it when it had the old stroker motor. Now my car has a bigger motor and lots of juice. Anyway when I was replacing my radiator I noticed everything went in great but my radiator sat 1 or more inches below the upper support. No spacers bc A&A cuts everything and mounts it back in. This is going to be a pain in the ***. Unless I cut my upper support and try and fit that to my radiator. Thanks A&A. Any body want to chime in with a similar experience. Rite now the radiator is held in there by basically the hoses and ac condenser. Not a big deal as I have just installed a big brake kit and am finishing that up this week but it's going to be a pain in the *** to redo everything for the radiator.

Heres the link if any one needs to see how it was done.

So just remove the lower support and have it re-welded into the original location.
Then stand the radiator back up and get a new upper support & your good to go
