To try and answer the questions. The fan is 18 1/2" diameter. It appears to be the standard Packard 6 blade for AC cars.
Condenser is 23 wide, 14 high and 1 3/4 thick with 2 rows. It covers the lower 1/2 plus of radiator and full width. I don't know if it is factory though.
As to the body mounts, Steele didn't have them when I did the car. Made myself by casting them with a product called Flexane 80. That is a casting urethane which approximates rubber in texture and hardness. A softer version is the 60 but 80 felt right so chose that one. The molds were PVC pipe & fittings so diameters were as close as I could come with my setup to the originals. Around 2, 2 1/4 and I think a 1 3/4 flat. There were a few odd shaped as well. Some had shoulders and some had steel washers cast inside. The pict is of a couple of the molds that were within easy reach.
