I have a US Car Tool radiator support brace, the earlier version that welded in the bottom of the brace. Has anyone found a radiator to fit this set-up? Total radiator height can only be 18"-19".
 
I widened the opening in the radiator support, and then drilled holes into the sheetmetal of the support. Then I installed rivnuts in the holes and secured the radiator with bolts directly to the radiator support.

you have the newer style brace. Mine is a round tube that welded into the bottom of the core support. Basically raising the bottom of the rad about 2".
 
I actually fit a big griffin radiator in mine, that was supposed to go into my E Body. I would see if summit has a 75 dart radiator for a car with AC. And check fit it, if it doesn’t fit they will take it back.

I have checked, seems they are all down-flow. I don't have the space for it.
