You will NOT loose any ATF when you change the radiator. You could loose some ATF if you change the heat exchanger, but usually the heat exchanger has big passages, and is not mandate to change.
To change the ATF is not difficult. The key is to clean thoroughly the sealing edges of the pan and tranny before replacing the gasket, observe the filling procedure (correct temperature for topping up with engine running), and tighten the screws in the correct sequence (one after another, after they were hand tight) at the correct torque spec.
