Smile using a rad from an auto in a manual

Hi all

I have a pinhole leak in my rad, so I got one from a same year ( 1988 ) that had an auto transmission ( I have a manual trans ).

My question is... I see it has, on the outflow side ( the drivers side ) 2 "extra" connections... both threaded connections, the bottom on still has a snall piece of cut-off hose attached.... so....

Can I get "caps" or whatever to block these off?

Anyone else done this swap, and can tell me what I need to do with these connections???

Thanks in advance

ps - I would post pictures but I lost the cable the connects my camera to my pc

Find to small bolts with same thread. Not super important to plug. Just to keep dirt out, you could even fill them with rvt or silicon.

Default those are most likely flare nut fittings

Home depot also carries a selection of flare nut plugs.
