You will have separate lines going to the rad as well other than the big coolant hoses.
Take a look.

On the side tanks of the rad if you have an auto trans there will be 2 metal lines for the trans cooler.
Also a upper and a lower rad hose. If there are any other lines trace them and see where they go. I would bet no oil cooler

You don't change a rad because you are overheating.
You check the timing, the thermostat etc.. before you EVER change a rad.
Have you done a flush and fill on the new engine and cooling system?
