Default How do I remove radiator without draining tranny fluid?

Car is apart so I decided might as well clean out my radiator and condenser. I got the condenser out and I have everything unhooked from radiator exept the tranny line. How do i not lose all my tranny when removing the line fluid? Will only a small portion come out?

A very small portion indeed. If the engine is off, the transmission fluid is not circulating......no biggie. Just have some rags handy to catch what drips from the radiator.
