hahah... ok i'm a dumbass....
i misread the "for the automatic transmission cooler" as being coolant would flow around the auto tranny to cool it, not auto tranny oil would flow through the radiator.
edit: i'm still a bit high from the gas fumes, sorry bout that

That makes no sense. The transmission cooler is a radiator within a radiator. It is isolated from the radiator. If you used an auto trans and hooked it up, assuming what you said is correct then coolant would end up in the transmission and transmission fluid would be in the coolant. Those should be fine unplugged. My truck ones aren't capped off and haven't been for 20 years. I've never seen coolant coming from the transmission cooler.
I just saw the last post. It's still too early I guess. (yawn)
