Default Anyone use aftermarket radiator w/trans cooler?

Ive seen some nice be cool radiators with built in trans coolers. Any one know how well the trans cooler cools. It would be really nice to clear out some space on my car and get rid of at least 1 of the 2 coolers and fan im running. Any specs on gvw ratings? I have to buy it any way so im not just buying for the trans cooler.

On my 95 C4 383 Bored and Stroked Corvette Coupe w/ 3,000 stall protorque converter. I'm running a Dewitt's aluminum 2 row radiator w/ integral tranny cooler, then I send the fluid thru a B&M 30,000 BTU Supercooler mounted in front of the radiator.

Tranny usually stays at 175F on highway with air on and converter in lockup even when it's over 95F outside.

In stop and go Manhattan, NYC traffic w/air on tranny gets up to 200F when over 95F outside after 45-60 minutes but cools down quickly when back on the move again.

Also running a CSI electric water pump, 160 Tstat and reprogrammed fans that turn on at lower temps.

Don't do it. External with fan is the way to go. I have a Perma Cool with a 900 cfm fan on it.
