1980 SS2 when the engine is cold and at idle there is a rattling sound coming from behind the radiator, when hot its not there, could this be the lower fan belt tension idler pully ?, howard.

When is the last time the viscous fan clutch was replaced? That should be on your "possibilities" list, particularly since the sound is present when cold but disappears when hot.

Sorry I can't really be of further assistance. Please post about what you find to be the cause once you find it.
