Default Trans and oil cooler line length

Is there any issue with running the trans and engine coolers in the back bumper of my car? its a fairly long wheelbase lines will be around 12-13ft for the engine and a foot or so less for the trans.
Coolers are the big B&M cooler around 12x12x1.5
Setup is twin s366 lq9 & powerglide.

wanting to run them out back to keep as much cool airflow for the radiator as possible, it is primarily a street car

thinking -6 or -8 for trans and -8 or -10 for the engine.

I haven't had any issues with my trans cooler in the back. I run it with a fan though (not pictured).

I used -6 line.

Running mine the same way also. -6 lines and Derale Cooler with fan. I have my tranny temp gauge on pressure port and temp has never gone above 190

My temp gauge is ran off my pressure port as well. Mine has never gone over 180, but ambient temps haven't been over 70 degrees yet.
