Default Radiator Replace Quick Question

Seems most of the OEM radiators I have looked are set up for AT and manual transmission. I have a manual so do i have to do anything to the radiator where AT lines would hook up. Are they capped off or does it not matter?
Appreciate any help.

The two types of transmissions gives you two different part numbers. Here is a sample from Dewitts. The manual one has no connectors for the transmission.

The manual trans radiator is also cheaper than the auto trans radiator
