My question is - will the air make the 75 degree turn and flow through the fins?  If not - would turning vanes below the radiator make this configuration possible?

Dennis, a section in K&W book discusses this very issue.  The short answer is "Yes".  The long answer is that you have to be very careful how you design the duct face in front of the radiator.  If you have their book, it's figure 12-12 on page 277.

instinct, and morality, to just sit back and watch people make
mistakes. We want to help them, which means control them and their
decisions, but in doing so we actually hurt them (and ourselves)."
