its seems i can't find a match from any local parts store (O'reily, Advance, or Autozone) for the lower radiator hose. the radiator is a stock oem ka24e one, which is from an automatic. does anyone have a part number that they used from one of those stores that works? theres also two nipples i'm concerned about that i beleive cooled the auto tranny... do i just add 2 vacum hoses and cap them off? and the line from the radiator cap runs to the antifreeze tank correct?

one more thing, the canister on the drivers side right beside the radiator, two lines are coming out... can i cap them off? whats their importance? i'm pretty sure the smaller one goes to the bottom vacum port on the bottom of the t/b whice i have that capped off. can i just by pass this entire system.

oh yeah, i forgot to hook up my heater hoses as i was dropping in my motor. i can't see whice one goes where, in fact i can't see where either would hook up. i'm NOT going to pull my motor for this... i already have bloody knuckles... so it wont make a diff. anyone have pics or can fully describe where they go?

The transmission cooler in the radiator does not share the same housing as the coolant so there's no need to cap it off unless you want to. If would keep debris out if you decide later to use it for another purpose though.

Carbon canister, you can safely plug all the vacuum lines, but leave the purge line at the bottom of the tank open so it can vent.

Heater hose, the one closer to the firewall is the upper port to the heater core IIRC.

The canister you mention is the carbon canister. You can remove it if you don't have to worry about passing any tests. Cap of the vacuum sources on the engine. There is another line on the bottom of the canister that goes to the gas tank. Take out some of the line and cap of with a filter or a vacuum cap with some releif cuts. You want to allow it to breathe but keep dirt out.
