I understood the lower part of the support in a LeMans was identical to that in a GTO. Assuming that's true, I was not aware there were two different fan shrouds for the two radiators.

I did learn there were two different rubber supports - the 4-core version being longer than that for the smaller radiators.

Also, there is a bracket on the front of the lower support rail that is a "stop" for the rubber supports. Here is what mine looks like. Hopefully is the same on a GTO. My apologies if not....:
