Replacing the radiator and wipers now park

Finaly wipers part thanks to refub wiper moter from NAPA. That clip holding the arm on is pretty tricky to get on while stuffing my hand down the vent hole.

Today removed the old radiator to replace it with summit radiator http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-380451/ . I though it was odd only about a drop of trany fluid came out. I figured it would have been full of trany fluid. 
Is that normal? ( v6 w a C5 )

Mine only leaks a tad bit of fluid whenever the lines come unhooked. Usually its just residual, hardly anything actually left behind in the radiator.

Just never try it with the car on. Don't ask me how I know that.

Kinda weird. Glad I'm not the only one. I almost felt sure there must have been a clog in the line or something.

Not really - the oil just drains back down into the lines and transmission pan. The radiator is the high point of the transmission fluid plumbing and will be filled with air when no pressure is present.
