If the car is auto, there could be a cooler for the trans oil inside one of the tanks of the radiator. Some cars run a separate trans oil cooler outside of the radiator, but normally only high performance cars. Apart from this, the radiator only cools the engine. Aircon has a completely separate sealed system.

Go see the guy's at petone radiators (nelson st.), they'll look after you.

I got a brand new one for the sisters E36 $530, Sam had a tank replaced by them on his 535iS also.
