Hi. The radiator was built to be suitable for a range of different applications.
Obviously you have a manual transmission, so forget them (and if the radiator came with plastic caps, keep them on those connections to keep dirt and moisture from collecting inside.
The reason it was obvious about your transmission is that, if you had an automatic transmission, you would readily see that you have two lines -- connections for the automatic transmission fluid -- poised at that spot to connect to those "nipples". You see, the radiator also serves as a cooler for that fluid, too.
By the way, for those cars that have a temperature sensor (actually, a switch) to control an auxiliary electric fan, your radiator also has a place to install that sensor. It's the large white "knob" (actually, the cap over a seal) above the uppermost transmission line nipple. That screws out, and the sensor plugs into that hole.
Hope this helps. Now enjoy your cooler-running car :-)
Best regards
