ok, so i got the stock radiator out. on the water pump there is the two major inlets and then there is a small one coming off the bottom to the driver side...well a hose came off this and went to a small outlet at the bottom of the radiator(driver side). the new radiator(be cool-right part #) does not have a male fitting there like the old one...it has female threads. so how do i hook the hose up to that?am i missing something?or do i reroute that hose? please help guys,i cant proceed til i know something. also the car is an m6 just so you know.

I put a NPT plug in the radiator and sealed up the hose right at the pump. This is the loop line for the factory oil "cooler"

so this line from the bottom of the water pump to the bottom of the radiator isnt necessary ?

is it ok to use a brass npt fitting or is there aluminum ones out there?

I've had this line plugged for a while with no issues. There are aluminum NPT plugs available and would probably be the best thing to twist into the aluminum radiator. Of course, when I installed my Be Cool, I could only dig up some steel plugs. Next time I drain the rad, I'll put some Earls plugs in.
