Being there was a lot of pink in the coolant my guess you had the out side attached or you would not have the pink in the coolant and also you would have a floor full of fluid out the trans cooler fitting that was not hooked up .
This may may have saved your trans . If you wanted to be sure drop the pan and if all looks good you got lucky .

And answer this...? Which line got hooked up to radiator drain, the fluid out or the fluid return line? If the remaining line was hooked up to the proper trans cooler fitting in the radiator, then you either got a mess all over the floor, or you just simply filled the radiator with trans fluid. That would mean the return line was sucking air not water...? Right? You either filled the tranny with water, or filled the radiator with tranny fluid, I dont think you could have done both?
