on the agean car you just bought (educated guess since I saw the other thread)? if so, it's no supposed to have one. Look at the bottom of the radiator core support. There won't be any tabs to mount the lower portion of the fan shroud.

I know some cars didn't come with one, I've even had one, but what was the reasoning for not throwing in a piece of plastic that could only make it more efficient? I doubt if they were really saving much money.

It looks like my top Radiator plate is further towards the fan more than one with a shroud

your top plate isn't designed to use a fan shroud....it's the version Olds installed on the '70 Abodies that didn't have one.
It doesn't even have the holes in it for the upper fan shroud mounting points.
It's correct for your car as the car appears now.....non-ac, non HD cooling, 3 row radiator setup.

I can think the build sheet said heavy duty cooling?
