And yes, the "radiator" in front of your radiator is for the A/C. It's called the condenser.

I just posted a thread this morning with a bunch of radiator specials. https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/922...p-your-s-cool/
here is a photo I just took



then here are the bits as I run my finger over them, break off with no real force

It's just gotten old and has degraded with the elements especially at the points exposed to sand rocks ect

Totally normal wear and tear, won't really do much good to replace it since it will just happen to the new one, just run it until you start to have poor rad performance overheating or a leak.
