radiator question

ok so there are two metal tubes coming off of the bottom of the stock radiator, one on each side of the bottom. They angle upwards toward the motor. Does anyone know what if anything is supposed to be hooked up to those? please let me know, i have just found these.

They are indeed the tranny cooler lines, but....this shows you have had your radiator replaced more than likely, as I don't think the stock radiator in the 5-speed has these lines.

It will work just fine. Some people run a rubber line and connect the two just for grins and to eliminate any leaking potential.
