By any chance, do you know if that was the original radiator? If so, I'd probably be tempted to change it out as well. I always beat myself up making these type of decisions when repairing things. It would just be my luck to get everything back together and a month later the radiator would start leaking!
Years ago I adopted an oft overlooked maintenance recommendation for my cooling system. Every 50K or 5 years I drain and replace all coolant. If I need more coolant due to normal seepage or leaks I only use pre-mix or concentrate coolant with distilled water.
Biggest issues I've seen in my lifetime with cooling systems is either corrosion allowed by old coolant (with depleted anti-corrosion additives) or blockage caused by use of "tap water" loaded with hardness minerals.
I also change fluids in transmission, transfer case, and differential at same intervals.
