Photos attached are for a 1969 Lemans core support and fan shroud. Note that the fan opening isn't truly round. The fan opening below the top of the core support is 21-1/2" in diameter. However, the opening above the core support is moved up a little and therefore measures 22-1/2" vertically. I purchased this shroud many years ago, I assume from Ames. Note that it is from the damaged mold and has the void at the upper left rubber isolator location.

Thank you for the information! I think the one I have is definitely wrong. The bottom of the opening is much flatter and every fan I have tried would hit there. I have not had much luck with the after market parts. But might have to try one . Thanks again.

All late 1970 model as well as 71 & 72 model Pontiac A-body V8 shrouds have the 'void" at the drivers side upper cushion. So will original GrandPrix shrouds with the barrel type extension.

Original 1969 & most of 1970 usage shrouds will not have that small "void". Keep in mind, originally, there were 3 core shrouds & 4 core shrouds. One can very carefully trim the side of an original radiator shroud out of a 3core car which will allow a stock 4 core radiator to fit. Original '69 fanshrouds will have the "wing" on the side, easiest way to spot vs '70 shrouds.
