That's exactly what I did when replacing my radiator
.
I put the bottom trans line on, then used a 20ml syringe (just because it was the size I had in the first aid kit) with a 6" piece of vac hose on the end to add some fresh ATF in the top hole until that was full and put the top line on. No worries!

We just used an infrared gun type thermometer and monitored the trans sump temp.
We weren't too critical about the process though...
