Only 3rd gen's have an AST system, so I'm going with an FD. Here's a couple options in order of what I would do.
1) Delete the AST system with a 2nd gen filler cap with an overflow tube. Writeup is in the 3rd gen FAQ.
2) Get a nipple welded onto your radiator for the AST connection. Thin aluminum is tough to do without making it porous, so it's a job for a good radiator shop. Some won't want to attempt it at all.
3) Buy another radiator with the fitting.
