Default Coolant hose routing

I know this might sound really wierd, but this is my question. I have installed an LS1 into a Jeep Wrangler, and am wondering if I have routed the hoses correctly. I put the hose coming from the thermostat to the bottom right side of the radiator. The hose from the top of the water pump, I hooked it to the power steering cooler and to the top left side of the radiator. I am not even sure it makes a difference, but I want to see if you all can let me know if that is correct!! The real reason I am asking is that it was running a little warm last year an I want to get it reolved now!! Thanks for the help!!

Could it be that the stat is sticking?? It gets up to about 230 degrees pretty fast!! Any other things to look at also that may be causing it??
