Pontiac Sunfire 01 w 2.2l radiator replace

Description: This 01 Pontiac Sunfire with a 2.2l engine had a split in the driver side radiator tank among other problems. So I removed and replaced the radiator with a new one. The lower transmission cooler line was also severely rusted, and both lines come as a set, and got replaced as well. And the trans fluid level checked afterwards. The cooling system holds approx. 10.5 quarts of a 60% antifreeze and 40% purified water mix. (This system had green coolant in it at this time and I replaced it with the same color). (To save doing a complete flush). (The vehicle was originally filled with long life dex-kool, (orange) antifreeze. And it is preferred, in my opinion. Do not mix orange with green antifreeze, or adverse effects will result. Use one or the other, and if switching, do a complete flush and remove any traces of the other color antifreeze.

How do you change the Transmission coolant lines from the transmission side? Anything special I need to know? Thank you for posting this video btw, makes it a lot easier !

Doing this on a 96 'fire convertible 2.4L and the manual says to discharge the a/c and take the radiator out together with the condenser. Hope there is enough room not to have to do that.
