Icon2 Stock Radiator Replacement

My radiator has sprung the famous crack at the top and is leaking - I have epoxied it for the time being but think it's time to replace.

I'm looking for an OEM style replacement so I can mount to OEM locations and retain A/C and also be able to handle a b series swap if I go down that route. I do not want the half size / racing radiators.

What radiators are available that have all the proper mounting holes and oem style fit? I'm looking at the Mishimoto which looks to fit the bill but want to make sure it'll be an oem style replacement procedure but give me a higher quality and more reliable unit. Also do I have to get the slim line fans or can I continue to use the stock fans?

Also note I did a search but that function is down for the next 24 hours due to the HT Website rebuild.

TIA

It is for an 1989 Civic DX Hatchback (5 speed) - though I am moving it to MPFI then eventually to a b series engine. It is my daily driver so I'll want to make sure I can remain stock with a/c, etc.

Did you keep your A/C?

I also found out Megan Racing has a full size radiator for the EF and it looks like it has all the proper mounting holes.
