Long as you use the return side pressure wouldn't be an issue, but
actually it's going to heat the fluid up more than it cools it down.
I'd just put a couple of plugs in there and be done with it.

Hi John
I just bought a new rad and installed it. By default, most parts
suppliers sell you an AT rad. When you install it, just leave the
plugs in place in case you have a major problem and need to use your
current vehicle for parts on an AT Jeep.
The AT rad is fine for manual transmission. You did not make a stupid
mistake.

Re: Plugging A/T lines on replacement TJ radiator???
Aftermarket rads are sold to accomodate AT by default. There is no
difference except the plugs and a tiny line inside the rad. Leave the plugs
and be done with it. If you are sweating keeping them sealed, apply a small
amount of glue or gasket sealer to the plug and put it back on. You did not
make a mistake.
