Well, maybe not. I've done two conversions on friends' cars where we used the 19.5" fan and the big shroud on 15-1/2" radiators. Just takes making a hole through the large shroud for the bottom radiator hose.

The shroud bolts up to and locates on the radiator support so it remains centered with the fan. The top of both the short and long cores is in the same place so the only difference is at the very bottom.

It's been awhile but believe this shroud was from OPGI and the Ames shroud fits better up to the radiator.
