Has anybody used an automatic radiator in a manual car?

I understand you bought an Auto Rad.
The companies such as Nissens make a "universal rad" with the plugs....it is basically an Auto Rad and for ppl with Man Trans, Nissens provides the plugs to plug the cooler ports.

But the Man Rad is available, again via aftermarket, not necessarily Behr (original supplier). The aftermarket is basically Chinese, for the most part.
