Default Difference in Del Sol radiator for swap?

So I did the requisite search on here, swapping a B16 into a 5th Gen. It suggested getting a Del Sol radiator from autozone to swap in. So I go down there and pick one up? Same radiator that I have already, with the hoses sitting sorta "loosly" on the thing. So, what's the difference? All their Del Sols and Civics use the same radiator according to their part numbers.

This is the radiator : Transpro

right. but you'll notice if you do a parts search for the radiator for something (like a 95 CX or so) you'll get the exact same radiator.

Autozone and Transpro may only offer one type of radiator for all models of 92-95 Civics. You may have to look elsewhere, with different OEM style radiators. I use a Del Sol radiator in my car, and it's dual.
