KevinAZ -

I can't offer advice on mounting location and angle of the cooler itself, but be sure to use ATF-compatible hose. Anything less will degrade and leak in pretty short order; I've seen it happen in less than a year on daily drivers.

Gates offers hose specifically for this purpose - in 5/16" and 3/8" IDs, I believe. Any parts store worth their salt will sell it by the foot off of a 25- or 50-foot roll, and it isn't anywhere near as expensive as fuel injection hose.
