You can use a auto trans radiator with a manual trans. Just plug up the trans cooler line holes so no debris gets in there (in case you ever want to use the trans cooler part). No worries at all.

No...Auto trans has a pump to circulate the oil, manual does not.

There are kits to add the manual trans cooler if your car was not so-equipped.

Look at LG or DRM.

Although on a street-only car there's no reason to bother.

Could it be used as a secondary oil cooler?

Possibly. You would need to know the size of the cooler. It may be too thin and cause a restriction in the oil system. If it's basically the same as the standard EOC it would be no issue.

But again, why? If you have the standard EOC in the DeWitt you should not need a secondary one.
