Coolant lines and coolers are typically 3/8" which is the inside diameter of AN-6 lines.
I would recommend Teflon lines, partly because the fittings are smaller (less likely to get in the way), and the outside diameter of the lines is much less, making them easier to route. Plus Teflon lines can handle higher pressure and are chemically more resistant.

I don't know this for a fact, but I suspect that stop-and-go driving will generate a lot of trans heat, especially with a high stall converter, and you then have little air flow under the car.
What kind of car do you have? I'm sure you will then get more precise suggestions.

It is 66 Nova.
I can probably get away with mounting this flat under the car but would be afraid of road debris hitting the fan. Will check inside wheel wells

I suspect your 66 Nova has a huge radiator like my '81 Camaro.
I bought a large cooler with pipe fittings (no barbs!) from O'Reilley auto for about $60. I used AN converters from the pipe fittings to AN6.
The cooler is mounter well in front of the radiator, as I have low-profile twin electrical cooling fans mounted to the front of the aluminum radiator.
These old cars have a lot of wasted space to play with.

Do I need to some how run a thermostat that will open and allow the fluid to run through the cooler at a set temp or just have it always running through the cooler?
I ordered the B&M but without the fan. I don't do a lot of stop and go driving so should always have air flow running through the cooler under the car.
