Will this work with an automatic transmission Camaro?

No — this radiator is calibrated for manual transmission cooling demands. Automatics require a different core design and oil cooler integration. Verify your transmission type before ordering.

Do I need to drain coolant before installation?

Yes, you'll need to drain the cooling system completely and flush the block before installing the new radiator. Have coolant disposal plan in place, and refill with the correct coolant type for your model year.

Are hoses and clamps included?

The radiator ships as an assembly only. You'll reuse your existing upper and lower hoses if they're in good condition — inspect them for cracks or soft spots before reinstalling. Pick up new clamps if the originals show wear.
