The Mt oil cooler will fit on the At. You will need the right side mounting bracket, the diverter hood, the fittings and hoses that x-fer the oil from the left to the right side. Check w/ Mazmart and see what he has availble.
Now when they say the radiator is only for the Mt it's beacuse the At radiator has the transmission cooler attached to the bottom of the radiator. If you switch out the radiator you will have to plumb in an after market tranny cooler. I doing a DIY on that now just been dragging my heals posting it.
So any after market radiator for the 8 will fit the At, you just have to take care of the tranny cooler.

You know I never though of that. I still don't understand why that statement is made.
The air dam dosen't block air from the radiator, but maybe just enough from passing the transmission it self. Just a though.
The At cooler itself isn't exposed to air itself. It's in a plastic end cap attached to the bottom of the radiator. The Engine coolant circs around the At cooler thus cooling the At cooler blah blah blah.
Does the Hot engine coolant feed at the top of the radiator or the bottom?
I don't remember the fluid dynamics Heat convetion law
