replacement radiator question

Bought a replacement 3 core radiator from radiator barn for my stock '01 jeep cherokee, got it out of the box today. It is lacking the inlet/outlet tubes for the air conditioning lines. It IS listed as a radiator for a/c and no a/c engines. Am I correct in assuming its possible to plug the lines into one another therefore bypassing the connection to the radiator. Seems like jeep had a bad design for the original radiator/ a/c line setup. Why attach a/c lines to the stock radiator????

There are no connections on the rad for AC. The AC condenser is a separate component. There are 2 connections on the driver side for the trans cooler connections, if you have an auto.

I must have a strange jeep, because it does have a/c lines. One runs to the condensor, the other runs to the compressor. I have a few pictures i took, i'll try to get them up.

I guess i didn't realize they could be seperated. I will investigate in the morning. Thanks.

chalk that up to being an idiot. two bolts and the condensor came off. Sometimes i scare myself. Thanks for the help!
