The radiator is stock with a new core. The engine mounts are new; maybe add a shim on top of the front biscuits.
Yu can trim a little off the end of each hose where it attaches to pump. That should allow clearance at your aftermarket sway bar as well as clearance to your fan.
I don't believe it's necessary to move your fan any closer to the radiator. A one inch clearance is about right.
