Can you put a radiator from an auto car into a manual car?

The neck of my radiator is cracked in my 92 GSX, I found another 1g radiator but it's from an auto car because it has two extra nipples on the bottom. Can I just bypass these or cap them off or what? What ran through them, coolant or fluid? Any help is greatly appreciated.
 
I may be wrong on this but if they bolt up and hoses reach then it should not be a problem. The extra fittings will be for the transmission oil cooler. I would recomend blocking them off to keep debris/critters from getting in there. Double check with some other people though since core thickness and fitment may vary.

-100% yes if it's from the same year. because I'm also using one for an auto now, it's a bit smaller than the manual one because the tranny cooler chamber at the bottom, you can block it off or use it to cool something else. I'm not sure if all the 1G's radiators are inter-changable, call several part store to see if the give you the same part # to see.
