He means "IF" you had an auto there would something that would attach there. YOur rad is prob a cheap reman. But they work fine.

NOT really. Unless you have many mods don't worry about it.

Those two fittings are indeed for the auto trans cooler.
They are not part of the regular rad matrix...when you add coolant to the rad nothing will come out of those fittings, so you can ignore them (or put caps on 'em for aesthetics if you want).
