No.

You have the 28" rad, you need the 34"

so 292 flex-a-lite fan kit that fits the 28" radiators a good bet?

The LS1 fans are OEM and are better (found on 98-02 camaro, trans am). They fit perfect and work great with the nelson or blackbear harness.

IMO, if you already have the 05-07 fans, it would be much easier and better overall to just get the larger rad. It will be a direct replacement, and have better cooling ability.

Swapping in a 34" rad is no big deal, it's a direct swap and all you'll need is 2 more bolts like the ones that are already holding the current rad in, so you can secure the 05+ efans to the radiator support. I got my radiator brand new from radiatorbarn.com about 5ish years ago, and found out from a buddy here that their 34" rads are actually now about $100 cheaper than when I bought mine. Search threads started by "fastnblu", he has an excellent 05 efan write up There might even still be a link to the thread in his sig
