TX New Radiator, tell me what you think

Okay so after some searching I decided that the OEM unit served me just fine on the track and off (never had high coolant issues even in 100F+). So an employee of mine put me in touch with a local guy who got me this for very a very good price. It's a Koyo OEM replacement unit. Maybe the dealer one would perform better, we will see.

The only problems I see and according to them the auto and MT radiator are the same. Could I just cap off the cooling tubes or should I remove them? I called the guy and he says they are the same exact for MT and AT both with this Koyo part number.

I use a Scangauge II daily and the Hymee Scanalyzer when tracking or running the hills/canyons.
