NOTE TO Grant..... remember how the original sheet metal had been troched by the previous owner.... that was properly to make things fit..... now that we have repaired the sheet metal that had been removed we have clearance problems..... I swear it's like a Chinese puzzle.

You might need to trim the interference between the radiatior and the frontal sheet metal, but I'm sure you will use a bit more finesse than the previous owners (not a jagged torch cut) and reinstate a folded lip to have the original appearance. However - if you move the nose shell and the radiator closer together to preserve the relation between fan, front end shell, arch bar, support brackets and radiator - you will also be increasing the conflict between radiator cap and front end shell. Which way do you want to lose?
