I have 2 radiators. I have a aluminum race radiator and the stock radiator for my 82 cutty. My race radiator doesnt have any 1/4 trans cooler or oil cooler lines but the stock one does. I know it will take a lot of space and may not fit but can I use the stock one at the same time / plug the inlet & outlet and use it just for the oil and trans cooler lines? Thats a total of a inch thickness. i know my Howe aluminum radiator is like 3-3 1/2 inches and the stock is about 2 inches. Ill modify the mount the radiators sit on.

Trying to use both radiators at the same time won't work. The stock one with the coolers won't cool the oil or transmission fluid because you won't have any coolant circulating in it.
Go get some aftermarket coolers.

I run an aluminum radiator with no trans fittings, so I also use an external transmission cooler. The aluminum radiators are great. Use it and buy a transmission cooler. They are not expensive.
what r the 1/4inch lines for that connect to the stock radiator? I know one is for the trans. The other?? Is it for power steering or oil? And if I buy a transmission cooler will it have 2 openings for 2 lines?
run your aluminum one and buy a aftermarket transmission cooler. its easy to do. here is a pic of my set up and where i mounted it.

Are you talking about the two lines that are on the same side of the radiator? They are both transmission lines, one to get there and one to get back.
