Yo Matt. I too have a 95 that has had cooling problems that
were quite similar to those you have been having. I bought
3 radiators before I got one that "did the job". Been OK for
a couple of years now, but the point I want to make here is
all of the radiators I bought, all had the "Barbs" in the
container that the radiator was in, but wrapped in plastic
seperately. I threw the Quick Disconnects away and used
rubber Gasoline hose. Those Quick Disconnecrts also
contained an anti drain back valve in them(@ least one
of them), so on occasion ever since, the torque converter
drains and it takes a bit for it to refill upon cranking and
engaging the tranny, but I don't mind that. It runs cool
and that is what is important. Glad you got yours going.

What one person receives without working for,
another person must work for without receiving.
