Default Can i make this radiator work?

I got a 2000 TA (6 speed) and i needed to replace my radiator. I ordered a radiator from a guy that said he had one off a 2000 TA 6speed as well. His radiator came in today and i realized his had an extra hole on the passenger side of the radiator. What radiator is this for and can i make this work for my car? I've attached pictures of what my radiator looks like (picture on the right) and what his looks like (picture on left). Thanks

52471356. I called pontiac and they said that part number is from a 98-99 firebird/camaro.

Left one looks like a LT1 radiator to me, the hole is the coolant
sensor. You could cap it, plug it with a junk sensor or epoxy-fill
it perhaps. Look for black rubber pipe caps at Home Depot, you
might find one fits right?

you could cap it off an epoxy the cap on there or something. if its an LT1 radiator it will be thicker than your 98-02 one and they do interchange.
