Default Radiator Connections Question

I recently went to the JY and got a new front end but every hose on the radiator i pulled my father in law cut. I'm wondering what all hoses and connections go to the radiator-
1996 Cherokee Country 4.0

I know there are Upper and Lower Radiator.
There was (2 I think) pressurized lines on the left side (coolant maybe)
A transmission coolant line i believe on bottom right.

Does someone just maybe know all the hookups on the radiator. If not i will probably take radiator to auto parts store and say give me one for each of these hookups but I'd rather price around online.

Thanks

4 lines-upper radiator hose and lower radiator hose are the big holes on the top right and bottom left. the side with the lower hose (bottom left) has 2 fittings for the tranny cooler lines. The bottom right of the radiator should only have the drain valve and it should be plugged.

Just under the rad cap is where the coolant overflow line feeds across the rad support and back to the container.

If it doesnt have a spot for a rad cap its prolly from a Renix era Cherokee.

should be true for all stock XJ radiators, other newer Jeeps are a little different but we wont get into that

but like it was said before posting a pic is never a bad idea
