Drill out the spot welds. IIrc, there are 2 or maybe 3 per saddle. If you have a harbor freight nearby, you can buy a spot weld drill bit kit cheap that works pretty well. Otherwise use a center punch right in the middle of the weld & drill there.

Thanks for the info guys. 
I was able to borrow a spot weld drill bit yesterday after reading this. Have the 3 row saddles removed and have the new 4 row radiator in place for a test fit.
