Jack, it's the end of show season so now is as good a time as any to do the things you plan on doing.. I'm sure you'll find a place for the trans cooler, exchanger thing... if you haven't all ready call V/A and let them know about the radiator and they may have something to help or even make for it.. you're not the first with a laid back grill to have air i'm sure.. the new a/c alternator is like the one i used and it seems to work great.. getting the exhaust run out the back should clear up some space under the car for the trans cooler.. (can't help myself)
