Default Torque converters

I am running a T400with a 10"converter (2800 rpm stall) behind a mildy modified 455 in a '67 GTO. This is a street car with ac and will not be raced. What are you guys running for a trans cooler? I would like to install a frame mount like this; https://www.summitracing.com/parts/prm-6321?rrec=true

or something like this; [https://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/6036...555%20Products

If it is run in series with the stock radiator possibly. I prefer the stacked trans cooler for all my cars with higher stalls in them.

Here’s a thread on how I did mine. It’s in sequence after the radiator cooler as Jim mentioned. It’s a stacked plate as well. I put it up front for better air flow, plus it also keeps it hidden.

so, my next question is; how do I remove the condenser to access the area in front of it? My car is a factory air car and it has the panel installed between the radiator support and the front bumper so I can't go in through the bottom.

I know ‘68 is completely different, but I didn’t have to remove the condenser to install mine. I dropped the valence, which I guess would be the bumper in your case, and pulled the right side grille for access. The lines run through the opening in the core support for the right side bumper bracket.
