The answer is, Yes, and no. I just installed a 95 GSR radiator in my 93 LS about a half hour ago. Theres some modification you have to do to the radiator and your hood to make it fit.
The 94+ radiators are a little taller than the 90-93 radiators, so you will have to take a mallet and dent in a little of the under skeleton of your hood so that the hood can close. (Dont worry, this doesnt effect the look of the top of the hood.)
Also, at the bottom of the radiator, there is a plastic square that sticks out, sticks out about an inch. You have to cut that square off, I used a pair of pliers to break it off. You have to break it off because it keeps the radiator from sitting down far enough into the engine bay.
As for the fan, only 1 bolt will bolt it up to the 94+ radiator (one is enough, that **** isnt gonna go anywhere). I dont know about the AC fan since i took mine out a long time ago.
The 2 upper radiator mount brackets need to be flipped upside down. Since it curves down when used with your stock radiator, you just need to flip the 2 brackets upside down so that it curves up, since the 94+ radiator is taller. You'll also need a longer overflow tank hose because the stock one isnt long enough.
Thats about it i believe. It sounds like a lotta modification but its really not. My stock radiator sprung a big leak from a crack so i needed to replace it, and i got the GSR one free so i had to make it work
Hope this helps man, feel free to ask me any questions about it
