One of the radiators.  The other one should be almost adequate on its
own, unless it's blocked with crud.  I suggest a drain-down, flush and
refill.  If your main radiator has the bleeding bolt on the top, use
this.  If not, you might have to take off the small balancing hose
that comes from the auxiliary radiator.

I also once found a car that had been in Saudi Arabia and the owner
thought: "No frost, therefore no antifreeze."

The inside of the system was corroded to hell.  Most of the radiator
tubes were blocked - had to scrap the lot.  On a Sport, too - $$$$!
