Will turning the radiator affect its performance

I am currently rebuilding an AC Cobra kit car. The radiator was originally in stalled with the reservoirs on the sides of the radiator with the cooling tubes running horizontally. After rebuilding the engine compartment I found that the radiator was a better fit with the reservoirs on the top and bottom with the cooling tubes running vertically. Will this affect the radiators cooling ability?

I wouldn't think it matters as long as they are there. A lot of cars are change around so things fit better. On some of the Cobras you can't even see the reservoirs.

The ability to cool your engine should only be affected if the air flow around the cooling tubes is restricted. Verify that the cooling fan will draw enough air through the tubes to cool the coolant. Also you should consider the fill tank position for  accessability.
