On the Gen 1 you can just take the bottom half of the fan shroud off and leave the top half in place with a body lift, or relocate the radiator 2" (or whatever the body lift height is) lower with a bit of metal strap attached to the top two mounting holes. You'd just drill new holes in the radiator flange for the bottom two holes. Not hard at all.

I've done a few body lifts, and there are a couple of how-to's in the archives.
