Factory Automatic Car Radiator Question

My mom's 93' GT has a leaking water pump so I am going to change it out tomorrow.

I have never taken a radiator out of a automatic car before with the built in trans cooler gimmick.

How much trans fluid does this cooler hold that is built into the radiator ? Just want to know before I potentially make a mess.

Thanks

The radiator is all corroded inside, enough so that is looks like one of those underground caves with stalagmites growing in it.

Therefore the radiator is going to get changed too.
