Hey guys, as you guys know, I'm doing a transmission conversion from AOD to manual, and I want to make sure, but when you drop the AOD, there will be coolant lines, I'm supposed to just plug those up right? So the T-5 does not need to be hooked up to any kind of coolant lines or anything? Just gotta plug in the speedometer gear and the reverse light harness?

Thanks as usual guys.

Thats correct you can discard the cooling lines and plug the holes at the radiator.

just find some brass plugs and use some teflon tape on the treads..

Oh, they are threaded? So I need to "unscrew" some connectors to disconnect the coolant lines?

I'll look at where they go, and where they meet up with the radiator, it'll probably be the best idea to simply plug them there like alan here suggests...

But what can I use temperarily? Since once I get my car up, I want to get everything done without having to go back to the parts store to buy something, and I know I won't know what size threads or what I would need to permanently plug them up, can I just buy some vacuum plugs to plug them up in the mean time or what?

Oh, I guess while I'm down there, I'm going to plug up that one pipe from the H-pipe that goes to the EGR, what's the best way to plug that sucker up? Clamp it? bend it? Put a rubber plug into it?
