1934 eight radiator

Was having problem with overheating. Disconnected the radiator hoses and jury rigged a set up to flush the radiator and the block separately. Flushed each both ways. Took off water pump and inspected it....looks OK. Ran the car and it was better but still wanted to overheat. My suspicion is that the radiator may be the problem. My questions are:
1. Is there some chemical like CLR remover used in the bathroom that can be poured into the radiator and let sit and then flush out?
2. How big a deal is it to remove the radiator?

Thanks Bill
