Need help installing fan shroud

I thought installing a fan shroud would be fairly easy, but now I am frustrated and need some help. This is on a 454 BB car. I bought the aftermarket fan shroud from NPD. I have removed the fan but I still can not slide the fan and shroud into place behind the radiator. I have a few questions:
1. Are there different size clutch fans for 454 cars?
2. Should the fan completely fit inside the shroud opening because mine does not.
3. Do I need to remove the radiator along with the fan to install the shroud?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'll have to do some measuring. Thanks. This fan shroud definitely does not fit :( I finally got the fan and shroud wedged in there, bolted the fan up and it still touches the shroud all the way around.
