Default Suggestions needed on routing braided transmission cooler lines

Hey guys. I'm running braided SS lines from my new trans cooler to the trans fittings. My question is about the routing. In the pics below, is it fine like that or should it be on the other side of the motor mount? Or in a different spot all together? Help is much appreciated!

I dont see anything wrong with the way it ran, looks fine to me. Factory hard lines run below motor mounts, plus it looks like it keeps it more away from header which is always good to keep cooler lines away from.. just my .02

That's what I was thinking. It's just too close to the header for me on the other side. Plus, on the other side of that mount, it's a HUGE cluster of wires lol. I don't wanna have the lines rub and slice a wire. This way, it's not touching anything and has room to move if needed. I'm going to get a bracket using a bell housing bolt to have the lines loop through that to keep it tight against the trans.

I fabricated some brackets for my cooler. I have my A/C deleted so I don't have the condenser to mount to, but I didn't like that idea anyways. The fabricated brackets just look much nicer. As you can tell, I got the biggest cooler B&M makes lol. It's been a long install but that's mainly because of this damn cold weather and no heated garage lol. Here's a pic for ya.

Yeah man that looks nice, much better then those push-thru zip ties that hole it to radiator, simple and def should keep her cool. does look like you have plenty of room up front, things are a little tighter for me, i havent even really looked at it, was just trying to get some ideas.. thanks for the photos tho
