Default Radiator Core Support replacement

I bought a radiator support (PY RPE68). While waiting for the motor to be rebuilt, thought I would remove old radiator support. (which was rusted out bad) Found one problem, my old radiator support is 19-5/8" tall and the PY one is 19". (I tried to install fan shroud on new radiator support and radiator support is to short. Got tape measure out and checked height of radiator support between original and PY).
Can anyone tell me if this is a normal problem with this replacement part?
Problem I see already is New Radiator Support is at least 1/2" shorter than old part and if I install knowing this when I try to install fender bolts (the two on top) going to have so many shims and afraid of this piece will not work. Also don't want to force shroud into place it will bust it.
Would like to know if any one else has ran into this problem?
