You just now noticed this?
(lol)
It should be fine. I'd flush some ATF through there to clean it out, maybe put some pressure on it to do a psuedo leak test. But there's no reason to think it shouldn't be fine when the time comes to install your automatic. Put some nice plugs in there if you are offended with the appearance.
By the way, on occasion the factory will release an AT radiator on manual trans applications to keep from proliferating radiator assemblies and carrying additional part numbers.
My '65 GTO is that way and I recall GM Full Size Truck doing that as well.
