well i was looking this up...alot of people cut the two things that hold the rad up on the bottom of the rad support and then get two L brackets and weld them on lower so the half size rad doesn't sits high and so u don't have to lean the radiator back... this is the best why in my opinion and its more reliable...

I would highly suggest getting an aftermarket traction bar. This will eliminate the stock front crossmember and free up a lot of room. Also look into a half sized radiator that is made to fit in the EF like the Full-Race half size radiator. A 95-99 Neon non A/C radiator fits very well too. However I never seemed to have much luck with it to keep my motor cool.
