Default New radiator needed for ls swap?

Im finally getting my ls swap for my eh2. Im getting it almost complete, im getting the block, head, IM, header, harness, ecu and mounts. I just need : hydro tranny, axles, shift linkage, alternator, starter and radiator hoses.(feel free to add anything im missing) I was told that i was going to need another radiator because my stock single cam radiator wasn't gonna be enough. is that true? If so would the cheapest solution be to get one from a b16 del sol, or is it bs and i will be fine with my stock one.

i just dropped a fully built b20 in my 93 civic hb. they told me i could keep my ac , but told them i didnt want to cause it robs horse power (ever so slightly of course). so..im guessing you could fit it still. my buddy was running an ls vtec in his EJ and didnt remove the ac until after he turbo'd it.

you'll just have to ask your shop. oh yeah. im still running my stock radiator. i had a couple over heating problems, even just under every day driving, but it was just that i needed a new radiator cap, it wasnt sealing very well. im fine now.
