I don't think many people have both radiators. The automatics should have an extra inlet and outlet to cool the transmission, something like 1/4 pipe thread inlet and outlet.

You can run a six speed radiator with an automatic and simply run an external aftermarket transmission cooler. Although, if you drive the car in a really cold climate I wouldn't recomend it.

I'm wondering if the shop gave me the wrong radiator?

Can you tell from this pic?

That doesn't look like a corvette radiator. The top hose should be less than a couple of inches from the top.
