Radiator fitment

Will a 3 core radiator from a 69 Delta fit in a 68 cutlass that had a 3 core?

The width and height are the same, but I'm not sure the tanks are. I know some full sized cars used the large 4 row tank on the passengerside and the 3 row tank on the drivers side for their 3 row radiators. I don't remember if that was true for the 1969 Delta.

I'm trying to find an original looking 3 core, you can find 2 and 4 but not 3 for a Cutlass. I found a three core (Spectra CU302) which fits a 70 Chevelle big block, a couple other A-bodies and a whole bunch of big Oldsmobiles including Delta 88. The dimensions seem to be the same but I can't find any specs on the width of the saddle mounts. I'm thinking they might be bigger like a 4 core.

I have brand new 3 core. It came included with my 1968 442 that I purchased years ago. It was in a box from Year One. I never installed it because I have a 4 core. I believe the previous owner ordered the 3 row in error. I can send picks if you want.
