2001 Radiator Replacement
I am looking at replacing my radiator with a DeWitts. I have an auto-trans.
When I disconnect the trans-cooler lines, will the trans fluid drain out? Will I need to refill at transmission?

You will lose the fluid from inside the transmission cooler, in your factory radiator, as well as fluid in the lines from the radiator to the transmission. Definitely check your transmission fluid level after the installation of your DeWitts radiator is complete.
Here's a link for the correct procedure to check the fluid level:
