Radiator And Alternator..possibly a battery?
Well its about time i get a new radiator, any certain one to look at? Are they best to order offline or should i go to somewhere like advanced autos and get one?
Alternator! i definetly need one, mine is really bad looking! Sometimes the charge will literally hit 8 and then go back to normal. Certain brand to look at again?
And a BATTERY. stupid question but..what is a good battery? How can you tell?
what is the way to see if its your alternator? isnt it, start the car up and remove the negative battery cable and if the car turns off its your alt?

You can get a nice three core copper rad instead of spending a boat load of cash for an aluminum one. And soposedly copper cools better than aluminum anyway. I got my copper three core for $160 from a local radiator shop.

I know it doesnt mean much since my car is stock but I can beat the hell out of my car for a straight hour and not go past 185-190 with a 180 thermo and a three core.

If your alternator is bad, you may want to hold off on installing those underdrive pulleys for now. If it's up to par, you should not have any problems with the pulley kit... the 95 GT actualyl has a decent stock alternator.
