Here is what you have:

It's a rather unusual design, built to lie at a 45-degree angle.   The 
theory is that the air will flow through it more smoothly, because the fins are 
more or less parallel to the airflow and it doesn't have to make a sharp 
upward turn, the way it does with a conventional radiator when it's laid 
forward.   The air exits out of the wheelwells and under the car, so turning it up 
to then turn it down is inefficient.

You are also apparently sporting two A/C condensors--one in the front and 
one in the rear.

I would definitely have this Hall radiator repaired, and implement the A/C 
condensor and get rid of the one in the rear.   As for the aluminum one, it 
looks very nice, but it seems all rather unnecessary given that your 
existing radiator is among the better ones available--and you already own it!
