scrap yard radiator salvage

Hello. I hope this is ok to ask this here :) I'm going to a scrap yard tomorrow to try build a cooling unit for a workroom of mine.

Hello. I hope this is ok to ask this here

I'm going to a scrap yard tomorrow to try build a cooling unit for a workroom of mine.
I require a radiator with fins which allows me pump cold liquid through it and blow hot air against it to exchange heat to the liquid.

I've never been to a scrap yard and I know nothing about cars. Could you good people tell me.
Is it a car radiator im looking for?
How much would a large radiator cost me from a scrap yard? I have no idea at all so i'd like to know so i dont get ripped off!
Do i have to disassemble it from the car myself or do the scrap yard people do this? Would they have any lying around?

Thanks!

You should get more information in the main motors forum so I'll move this there.

Most dismantlers have parts off the shelf, phone a few and as you're not looking for any particular one, go tor the cheapest.
