Hi my v70 r manual has sprung a leak from the rad. Now i have an auto t5 stripped down with a brand new rad the only difference i guess is that it has an oil cooler for the auto tranny fluid but if i just blank these off can i use this in my manual r? both phase one cars. I just dont want to buy one there bloody expensive and i have i newish one here doing nothing.

Thanks

i can't see why you would need to blank them, just bolt it in.

Mine has an auto radiator in it, in fact, Volvo only sell auto rads now.

Yup, don't worry about the extra connectors.
