If it's to go into your 90 civic in your sig then you won't be using any 1992-1995 radiator w/o lowering the lower mounts.
The 1992-up radiatiors are taller - try to get a 1988-1991 if you can
BTW: The Civic and Del Sol radiatiors have the same height, but the Del Sol VTEC has a dual-core design while manual Civics had the single core.
All the suto Civics from 1992-1995 had dual core as well if I'm not mistaken.

Still might be too tall for a 1988-1991, but the Del Sol VTEC was from 1994-1997 I *think*
There may have been a 1993 - I'll check. 1995 is what I always ask for anyways

Re: Smaller Radiator? (b20bastard)
you can make your mounts work -
1 - drill out the ac condenser and radiator mounts
2- bend them flat
3- sawz-all about a 1/4" of the lip off the core support
4-screw the mounts in to the bottom of the core support
5-you can use all the factory rubber grommets that way
6-fashion some mounts for the top
7-thats it , your car will never run cooler ( a little water wetter ) never hurts either
