Fitted my rad - quick Q

I had a metal end tank fabricated on my std radiator, Koyo not in the budget for the minute.

Anyway, its been off for ages and fitted last night. I just want to check there are no pipes/hose that go onto the 2 pipes/nipples on the r/h/s of the rad. Otherwise I guess they just go to air? (as you're looking at it from the front).

Not explained it very well, a pic would be better but at work now so not able to. Thing is, I ran the car for 10-15 mins and the rad hardly got hot and temp needle barely moved. I fitted a hard pipe kit at the same time.

 

Thanks.

    Is it an auto or man? The Jap Auto Rad has 2 connections on the right for the oil hoses from autobox. The UK auto Rad had 2 connections on each side for the same thing. The Man rad had none. If its a Manual u dont need to connect anything to these nipples.

    Ita Jap Auto and I had an extra autobox rad fitted some time ago, which I guess is why there are no pipes connected? And ok to leave to air? They would have been ever since the autobox cooler was fitted and been fine. Thanks.
