I have an Auto FD and just got a free radiator but it's made for a 5 speed..?

Hey, I was just about to swap out the radiator but I found out that the automatic radiator is different from the manual radiator. Good thing is that I got the manual radiator for free, it only has about 1000 miles on it. If you guys are familiar with it, the automatic radiator has two extra nipples coming out of the bottom of it to cool the auto tranny. But I've heard that these are useless? Is it possible to use the manual radiator for an automatic.

I have a stock FD auto radiator for $25 plus shipping.

A large external transmission cooler with dedicated lines will work as well. It will certainly be more expensive though.
