1969 442 convertible question / radiator core support?

Guys, I found a radiator core support from a 69 cutlass. Question: is it the same one for my 442 69 convertible ( will it fit/interchangable )?

The only difference would be the saddles for the radiator; they're longer if you have a four-core radiator. The fan shroud brackets are different too in that case. The saddles are reproduced and the brackets may be as well; if not they can probably be fabricated.

Of course the four row vs two/three row radiator difference is unrelated to the car being a convertible. Both top and bottom brackets for four row radiators are now reproduced.

Thanks Joe. I just meant that using a support from a Cutlass on a 442 might require that change. That's what I did and switched the saddles and brackets over from my rotten original.
