yes u should cap the holes. even if u drain all the fluid, dirt can still get in there and may cause radiator damage.

the transmission cooling system is independant to the actual radiator system, so even if dirt gets in there it is unlikely that it may damage something :voldar02:

but what about the fact the transmission cooler segment in the standard radiator is prone to collapsing making the coolant and tran fluid mix (when both in use in the standard fashion)?? wouldnt this be of concern if you had the holes open and dropped all of your coolant due to the collapse occuring?
just my 2c
