Help: OEM foam between rad and condenser?

Hey guys, I tore my care down over a year ago and am trying to put it back together properly. When I bought the car, I want to say there was a piece of foam (definitely not a rubber strip. I have those) stuffed at the top of the radiator but I can't find it now. I assume that was to prevent air from escaping between the condenser and radiator. Was that foam OEM? I looked on Real OEM but can't find anything. Part # 14 on this diagram could be it but it's omitted. Am I crazy or is there a foam piece somewhere around the radiator, thin foam strip stuffed in somewhere?

On second thought, it might have been down by between the intercooler and condenser. I know there was a piece of foam somewhere around the cooling system I just can't recall where unless it wasn't an oem piece. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
