3 Row Radiator In A Non A/C Application - Is This Right?

I just test fit my top plate on the 71 350 Supreme non A/C car I'm doing. It is the original core support and radiator, correct top plate and the saddles haven't been jacked with. The radiator seems to be leaning back towards the engine when the top plate holes are lined up with the support. It looks wrong to me, but I haven't done a car with this configuration. Is this right?

Looks fine to me -- Never mind the core support - is the radiator parallel to the fan?

That looks right to me. Mine currently looks like that with the lean in from the top.

Observation: the top fan blade in photo looks like it has a bend it it. Is it the lighting or is the blade tip really bent like that? It don't look right to me, though I'm easily fooled.

Thanks - feel I dodged a bullet. All the fan blade tips are bent in - it looks like it was built that way. Is it not a OE piece?

The fan looks right - the four-blade fixed fan is slightly different than the clutch fans.
