    Default radiator mount?

    i have had my radiator out of the car since november and i'm just getting it back in. i left out my ac condenser since my compressor died. i have the radiator in place with the fan and shroud over the top but it feels rather loose because i'm able to slide it up and down a bit. it won't come out of it's slot but i can see it making noise when i hit bumps.... is it like this because the condenser is not in place or just because it's empty??? did i forget bolts on the bottom or something (i doubt it cause i remember it just slid out)

    i hope that once i get coolant in there it will not move.....

    The bottom rail should have two small rubber "pads" that the radiator sits on, and the top radiator shroud (plastic piece) holds it in. That's it. Mine is set up this way and holds just fine at 124mph.
