Default have a question about my raditor? and how do i adjust my timing?

my dad had a spare raditor when he had a 2000 honda civic coupe. am not sure what motor was it since he bought it like that. it was a dohc vtec. alright so my question about the raditor is that its very long its like the a/c condenser and the regular raditor put together. and i was wondering what kinda is it. ill take a picture tomorrow. the raditor i have on my 1999 honda civic dx hatchback is leaking. the cap is not holding good. so i want to put that one in. but my car also has a/c how should i do this.
p.s i also have the a/c condenser from my dads coupe that he use to have. any help please so my motor dont heat soon and i have to rebuild it

second question how do i adjust my timing some shop is charging me 125 bucks to do it? its a d15b vtec

Jump the two pin SCS connector used for self checking codes, and at a FULL WARM idle, set base timing by looking down the arrow sights on the timing cover to the crank pulley, and look for a white mark on the pulley, it should be +12 degrees +/- 2.

The 2000 Si radiator is still a half bay design, They stopped doing the full front radiator and having the condenser in the front of the radiator in the civics after 1991.

The Si radiator is a dual core design, so it will be thicker, but it should be the same size.

If it is not similar in size to yours, it will not fit, and the Si radiators also have a bigger inlet/outlet neck as well, so the coolant hoses might take a lot of effort to put on. D series engines use smaller hoses than the B16's do.

so an order to make it fit i have to take out the a/c condenser ? and just use what was on my dads coupe. because they have the same front end so am guessing it should fit. with everything from the other car. the radiator hose i dont mind ill just use a little bit of my muscle to work it onto the radiator inlet and outlet neck.
