Default Radiator/Fan for B16 CRX

I'm getting a 89 CRX shell, and it doens't have a radiator or fan, because the previous owner had aftermarket stuff in it. What type of radiator would be best for a B16 setup, stock would be cheapest I assume, but are there better choices than the stock CRX radiator like an Integra or Del Sol radiator to cool the B16 better? Tell me what you think, I can buy whatever I need to, and if I get a stock part, it's gonna be brand new, so what is the ideal choice? Also, how about swapping radiator mounts, etc... Thanks!

check out koyo and fluidyne on http://www.absoluteradiator.com
they also have pusher cooling fans to put in front of the radiator for clearance on a turbo set-up later

LOL

I just put a 92-95 civic radiator in my 91 STD with a B16 swap, I had to do some cutting to get it to fit to the lower radiator support and then reweld the lower radiator mount to the crossmember, but it looks clean and most importantly it looks like a factory install, I did this for some extra room for a turbo later on, I will try to get some pics up of it tonite. As far as a fan I am undecided what I am going to use.
