Cracked Radiator

I took my car out for a long needed drive today and on my way back I noticed the smell of coolant and my water temp rising. I immediately took the next exit and pulled into a gas station where further investigation found a long 6" crack at the bottom of my radiator below the radiator fans. I got it towed and in the garage.
I've been wanting to replace the radiator for a while now but wasn't sure what to get. I have a 99 GSX Automatic. Most radiators I look at say that they are not compatible with the Automatic tranny. I was checking out my radiator and didn't see any extra hoses or attachments. All it had were the upper and lower radiator hoses and the two small lines at the bottom for the oil cooler (I don't use them anymore because I put it where my SMIC use to be).
So my question is: Will I be able to buy any radiator for a 2g gsx and have it fit without issues? Anyone else replace their automatic radiators and have any input? Thanks in advance!!
-Cody

U should be fine they should be the same the only think I could c being different would be the wiring for the fans I'm running a 1ga radiator in my 2ga and the only diference there was is the fans and the lower mounts they where off by 1/4 inch so I egged out the hole and works like a charm
