Actually, I sorta did this years ago.
The Pumpkin came with standard cooling. It also had aftermarket A/C and always ran warmer than I liked.
I came across a heavy duty (AKA supercooling) radiator. The passenger side bolted up to the original location. The drivers side was several inches wider and couldn't use the original bolt holes, but the holes are already in the proper location for the u-nuts (I used plain bolt and nut). The only other thing is the radiator support now overlaps the drivers side of the radiator by several inches. I probably could have cut it out to unshroud the radiator but never did.
