Don't remember the size offhand, but just go to home depot or ace hardware and buy 2 plugs, teflon tape them, and screw them in.

Not sure what to do about the lines themselves.. I would think they'd come off when you removed the old AOD.

Yeah, for plugging the radiator, I would do just as Andy outlined.

It's probably not even necessary to plug the radiator -- but will make for it a little nicer in case you ever go back.

The lines can just be removed. They may need to be cut off, they look pretty well snaked in.
