Okay to drive car for 100 or so feet without radiator?
Pulled the radiator to flush it today and while taking the thermostat housing off, one of the bolts broke. Basically, the radiator is out and I need to move the car. Can I move it safely for about 100 feet or so to get it back to my shop? What about the transmission lines that run into the radiator and the one that goes to the heater valve; will those be alright too? (91 305 TBI)

other than maybe losing the coolant in the block along the way, you will have no problems, it wont be running long enough to hurt anything
