Default Radiator Trans cooler question.

I have installed a 24000 B&M trans cooler in front of the condenser and radiator. I installed a trans temp gauge in the return line after the coolers and when driving i get a good constant temp of 150-165 and if im in traffic it will hold at 180 with the a/c on. My question is what happens if I were to take out the stock radiator cooler and just run the B&M?

Thanks
~J

Not a whole lot. FWIW, my radiator sprung a leak into the built in stock trans cooler and toasted my built tranny and converter.

that's enough reason not to run the stock cooler.
