They sell plugs with threads that screw into the tranny cooler cooling line outlets. Just ask her local auto parts store

There has to be a radiator shop somewhere around where you live, have them recore your original radiator, Or have them swap the tank with the fittings with the one that came with the car may have to reuse O rings

What I am reading is they are separate compartments... so no need to plug except to keep moisture and junk out of there.
