The 70 shroud is the one you want. It will fit. The hardest part of the job is removing the pulley and fan. The pulley is held on with a large bolt that requires a large socket, and a torque wrench to reinstall it, and the fan requires a puller (like a steering wheel puller) to get it off. DO NOT BE TEMPTED TO PRY IT off with screwdrivers!!! Use two 8mm bolts threaded through the puller and into the fan hub to pull it off.
