Sorry f4, thought I was here to get support from knowledgeable Vette
Owners, not a grammar lesson.
If my grammar upsets
You that much, then please ignor my post and don't reply to any as you don't offer support
and rather just bust my %#^ when I am asking for support in a support
Forum.

I'm still trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with your car. Apparently your brand new radiator and cooling fans don't work, some blower doesn't work, and your car leaks like a sieve. "Dose" that about explain it? No one knows how to help you because your explanation is all over the place.
I have an LT-1 with air. I had a lot of overheating problems and I fixed them. DeWitts helped a lot. I've been there and done that.
I'm done.

I've found new t-stats that are bad so that would be the first thing to check. Put it in pan of boiling water and it should open assuming its rating is 190 or less. And their tolerance is about +/- 20%. I think that they are better than that today.
If the radiator hoses have been replaced, check that the lower hose has the internal spring in it to prevent collapsing which will severely restrict flow.
Is the radiator fan working properly?
Are all of the radiator seals in good condition and in place?
Does it put an excessive amount of water in the overflow reservoir?
Have the radiator cap tested. Probably should be a 15 psi cap.
Is the front of radiator free of debris?
Is the lower lip under the front intact and in place?
I have a L-82 w/ A/C and have never had an overheating problem. Just lucky I guess.
