In here http://seekpart24.com/opel/omega-b-estate-21-22-23-94/3-0-v6-8/radiator-100103

As I thought it's for the switches in the end of the radiator that turn the fans on/off for both engine cooling & also the fan for the air con.
The description is not very clear, but I would think that it's saying that there is room for two thermostatic switches - which is what you need for you car.

Well I thought I just had to match:
->Transmission Type: For automatic transmission
->Vehicle Equipment: For vehicles with air conditioning

I thinks it's lost something in the translation I think it's trying to say two ie double thermostatic switches ..... a switch could maybe also be called contacts

Correct. An auto needs the cooler in the side (your passenger side) of the rad. A car with air con needs to be fitted with two thermostatic switches. Thumbs Up!

It's a really difficult job... I've been through a hell just to extract the old one! Many vacuum hoses, and sensor wires

Till now I had to extract the air filter enclosure the intake pipe bags the battery! I believe that the fan should be left with the radiator and then when taken it's easier to reassemble in the new radiator. I will keep this update

Cheers.
