Default AN / JIC fittings on an Aluminum Radiator

Has anyone done AN lines and fittings for their radiator. I am looking to do make an upper and possible radiator hose from my Soarer with a 1JZ using AN / JIC fitting and stainless steel braided lines and wanted to know

1. What size fittings are needed? Need the ones for the hose ends and the ones to weld on to the radiator

2. The size line needed

3. The type of line needed that can handle coolant, antifreeze or water

4. Where to get the fittings?

I have an aluminum radiator. Any help will be appreciated

Not partically looking for those as they still use a clamp. I really want AN particular black fittings..

It's stainless steel but you do have to treat it. WD-40 or some kind of rust prevention or oiling. I would say that water should not sit on these...
