Yes, if the damage is closing off too much of the airflow through the tubes and fins. The device closest to the grille won't actually be the Radiator, it will be the A/C Condenser, but air must pass through that to reach the radiator. If your A/C still works at all then chances are only the fins are damaged and not the tubes, so you can probably get in there with a sharp pick and carefully unbend the flattened areas to restore the airflow. It may take you several hours but it will be much cheaper than a new condenser.
