I'm looking at the OPG catalogue and it lists both the small and big block shroud at 29" wide, which is the width of the core of my radiator.  Are you sure about this?

The regular SBC shroud will not work. It is not wide enough (left to fight). The width is the same as a BBC but the BBC shroud is not deep enough (front to back). Scott

Ok... all of this makes sense. Does anyone know what the difference is for the 68 w/AC and the heavy duty radiator? Do you think the regular 68 small block shroud would work? Thanks for the help so far!

FYI There is not a reproduction nor is it available from GM for 68 w/AC or heavy duty radiator option

Just FYI, the 68 fan shroud is a year specific item. It has 3 bolt holes to hold it to the radiator top plate instead of 2 like the 69-72's. As long as you have the same top plate, get the shroud for the engine in the car, not what radiator is in it. Big blocks are 2 inches longer than a small block which brings the fan closer to the radiator. If you put a big block shroud on a small block car, the fan will not sit in the shroud where it needs to be making it ineffective.
