    To plug or not to plug. . .

    hello all. I am just finishing up an auto to 5 speed swap on my car and I need to know if it is necessary to plug the transmission oil cooler lines left there from the auto tranny or can I just leave them? Or better yet, can I remove them altogether, or will that mean i just have to plug them at the other end?
    TIA for any help you can give me.

    Just remove them from the radiator side and your good. You can put plugs on the cooler lines coming out of the radiator if you want or just not worry about its since you will probably never use it again anyway.
