What engine do you have in the car? turbo or NA? if it's the turbo, I'd keep the larger radiator with the expansion tank... for sure. I actually think it's too small... long hills, and such will overtax the cooling system in the summer...

the one liter less of coolant that the old system holds seems like a minimal difference in a cool climate. i would keep the later fan and shroud.
