krayton i've seen that done ,they mounted the radiator where a front mount intercooler would go then mounted the intercooler in the place where the radiator was in a v mount. so the radiator gets full cooling benefit ,also the intercooler being futher away from engine heat. its very effecient . the only downside is the radiator is vulnerable to damage like rocks etc.

That's true. The stock radiator lays on an angle. The first picture shows a FMIC installation - perhaps the radiator is vertical to improve fitment with the intercooler in there.
In any case the first pic has no ducting shown to make air flow through the radiator. That greatly reduces cooling and should never be done. Stock ducting is ok but can be improved by sealing the gaps. Aftermarket radiator installation without ducting is a total fail.
