I sold a Vortech kit + Spearco radiator that came off my car. The seller said I am missing the two parts pictured below. My question is: Does the Spearco radiator replace both of these parts?
I swore I packed up everything I took off my car.
I don't understand? You bought or sold? If the buyer said those parts are missing but you sent a bigger spearco heat exchanger then your covered as he doesn't need the smaller unit. Those parts you pictured looks like the stock heat exchanger unit.
I sold a Vortech + Spearco radiator. They were installed on my car.
That covers the little radiator, but what about the triangle shaped reservoir? Does he need that as well? I didn't do the install or disassembly, so I don't know.
No, he can get it running without the reservoir but might be a bit limited in the quantity of water in the system. That maybe offset by the fact that you gave him a bigger exchanger that holds more water.

Thank you very much for your help.
Yeah I think that may be the reason it didn't have the reservoir. I do remember that when I dumped out the coolant from the radiator, there was a large amount.
The larger heat exchanger holds a much larger volume of water than the vortech / Comptech heat exchanger, thus eliminating the smaller exchanger + resoivoir in the process.
