t-56 swap radiator question

i'm doing a t-56 swap in my 87 camaro which was originally an automatic.

on the radiator there are the to ports for the trans mission cooler lines. since the t-56 doesn't have a place to run them to i'm going to plug them up.

for the life of me i can't figure out what size bolt and thread pitch it takes to fit it. can anyone find out what size it is??

The right way to do it would be flare fittings. But the fun part is since the trans cooler is isolated from the coolant already you don't even need to plug them.

Wait, wait, wait! I'm also going through this dilemma too. I figured that you would need to plug them... So... Should I just leave them unplugged? Slightly confused on this matter haha! Alright... extremely confused!
