Installing Tranny Cooler, help

I ordered a tranny cooler with my shift kit. I think I'll put the cooler in front of the radiator, behind the space for a front liceanse plate. What do I do about the line running to the radaitor? Should I extent them to my tranny cooler and plug the radiator holes, or should I run I line from the radiator to the cooler, then back to the tranny?

The only reason to bypass the rad cooler is living in a very hot climate. in series is recommend as the transmission works better when warmed to 120 to 140 degress. Bypassing the rad causes the ATF to take much longer to warm. The aux cooler is just that, an addition to cooling, not a replacement. Since you are in SC, the decision is not a big deal unless you drive your car in the winter months. The key to transmission life is keeping the ATF below 200 degress. I use a temp gauge and no cooler with excellent results.
