This is a picture of my old -85 Orion. Some cutting will be needed, unless you can fit the fan behind the rad like in an XR3i. This won't work at least with the standard turbo manifold. With a single fan, the cutting will be minimal. With two, the mask lower mounting points sadly need to go. Even with two fans, the radiator will be struggling and the car needs to stay on the move. It will overheat easily if left idling. It's a very effective intercooler, but completely blocks the radiator. I don't know what better to recommend, but it's not for a daily driver.
The front panel in the picture is also bent forward, not just trimmed.
Because the lower mask mounts are gone, it's fixed with three screws from the top. You can see the holes for them.
