I think you want to look for "dope style" though I'm liking
the idea of up in the rear axle arch, w/ a couple of muffin
fans, lately. The radiator has enough limitations, you don't
help it by shrouding it let alone shedding heat onto its air.

I'm also looking for a different/better place to mount a trans cooler other than up by the radiator, possibly somewhere under the car?

Dope style is the easiest and quickest way to keep it front mount. The rear becomes a great option if you are willing to mount it with fans as jimmyblue stated. The airflow is so indirect in the rear that it would need the fans to work efficiently.

Looked at #9 and #10 post.

I did mine like number 10 and it worked great. It was easy to do but the only difference is mine sticks up straighter do to the radiator being in the way.
