A Question about Radiator Replacement 200

I have a 1990 245. The top outlet on the radiator broke off. I ordered a genuine Volvo radiator because this one is original.

My question is this, I spoke with the service foreman and checked with a few of the mechanics. I am going to put a radiator for an automatic into a car with a standard transmission. He told me it would fit. There was a $300 difference in price between the two. Is there anything I need to do differently to make it fit? Do I need to plug the automatic transmission lines?

He told me the only reason he could think of for the price difference is supply and demand. They should be interchangeable.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
