I think you're missing a point.
The metro radiator is the stock radiator for that engine, so yes, it would be sufficient as well as the water pump.
Given the scope of this cite it would be safe to assume we are looking at an econo-box. One that is full of tinkering, so a general idea of what might work is pretty much what I was hoping for.
Edit:
No sense in waiting to post about it. I am really interested in trying to mimic the 911 carrera's radiator setup. I like a bare engine bay, the minimalist look you might say. So I was thinking maybe I could try and use some ducting and tuck the radiator (whatever it might end up being) between the bumper and wheel wells. The stock radiators seem
WAY too big to fit in that area. So I was hoping to do some initial research into what might work. Then when the time comes maybe do some testing. Since it would require dismantling and building a custom setup each time I'd like to get a solid plan down before tearing into it.
