Default 2011 Camry - Radiator Question

I was recently gifted a 2011 Camry SE 2.5L 4 cylinder.

The previous owner rear-ended a truck with a trailer hitch and it destroyed the AC condenser and Radiator. Everything else is undamaged.

I was not looking to sink any money into it so I went to the local Pull-a-part and got an entire assembled condenser and radiator off of a wrecked 2007 Camry.

Everything seems to line up and fit except the 2011 radiator I am replacing had no build-in Transmission cooler but the 2007 transmission did.

Will it be fine to hook up this radiator, and ignoring the transmission lines?

Thanks!

Did the 2011 Camry radiator have a built-in cooler?

The 2011 did not have the built in transmission cooler.

The 2011 may have had the transmission fluid cooler separate from the engine radiator. The 2007 had the trans cooler built into the engine radiator.

Might tape off the cooler fittings on the 2007 to keep out debris and water and call it good.

Yeah, that's what I'm going to try.

Thanks for the sanity check!
