12x12x2" radiator is it enough?

Is 12"x12"x2" radiator Enough cooling? 1/2 npt in/out, all Al. and it's decent quality.

Ive heard that our stock radiators are over kill, and they are only about 1.5" thick, I want to go with something smaller and lighter that will still be bale to cool my car. The car is not a daily driver and I will be running a fan so I think between never seeing 90+ degree days and the fan it should be enough. What do you guys think?

I still have to figure out how im going to use -10an steel braided line with the lower coolant intake on the motor since I don't want to pull everything apart just to weld a bung on. Any ideas on this?

Maybe for a motorcycle...

You'll have problems on an evo... Civic half rads are hit or miss and that is much bigger than 12"x12"..
