Maintenance/Repairs

I am replacing my radiator in my 2001 Volvo V70 XC and I got a used one from a salvage yard. Pretty stupid in hindsight, because now I am paranoid that the transmission fluid cooler line in the radiator has gunk that will turn a fix into me losing the car for good. It’s not in the car, so I was thinking that I could use some solvents like Kooler Klean to really clean it out. I could also just order a new Behr radiator from IPD with the exact proper o rings and green clips, and just eat the cost in the face. What would you recommend? Thanks for the help in advance.
