Hi Joe,
Haven't had this particular problem but I feel your pain. This is what I would do, keep the thermostat, replace the upper (you already did that) rad hose, the lower rad hose and the the hose going from the cylinder head to the heater core. Flush the block until it runs clean, after you remove the old rad but before you put the new one in (one of those Prestone kits that fit into the heater core hose works well).
I think the tranny hoses should be okay, but I would do a 'triple' tansmission flush as you had earlier described. As far as the filter goes, you can just clean it and reuse, you may have to get a new O-ring.
Make sure the expansion tank is also clean and the hoses running to it.
The rad only takes 2 hours or so to replace, drain the trasnsmission while your doing this. Top up the trannny when everyting is back together, drive for 15 min. or so, repeat 3-4 times.
PITA I know, good luck.
Derek
