You can run two but you probably wont' need the second one. I run a 19000 and a 24000 to keep things cool because the Tranny Blanket does block air flow and hold heat when you're crusing in the lovely Michigan Construction traffic.

At your combo I would simply recommend spending the extra money on a Tranny Temp guage so that you can monitor what's going on and have the peace of mind that the guage offers.

On my '67 I completely bypassed the radiator cooler, and I'll tell you why: the transmission fluid has to be "cooled" by a heat exchanger that usually runs 180-200 degrees. I looped the lines between two seperate coolers, and installed a Griffin aluminum radiator with no provisions for an oil cooler. The fluid goes into one Derale cooler (19000) and then passes to a B&M 24000 cooler and then back to the transmission. I used all Russell braided stainless lines (-6) and it keeps the tranny between 180-195 AT ALL TIMES! Works like a champ.
