Now I dont have enough braided line to reach back to the trans if both trans lines mount an inch from eachother and wasted money.

Since you have the inline cooler you'll be tapping into your existing cooling system so you shouldn't be connecting to the transmission. That's my guess as to why you're short. And if you're confused on line routing and mounting the cooler you can email Dave and ask for his installation instructions.

Also FYI you can use a -6 hose connector with 3/8ths trans or fuel line.

You gotta unbolt the pan. You can buy an aftermarket pan with a drain plug though. I have the ZZP one on my car.

I out lined the different doorman pan for 30 bucks in that other thread I linked. It comes with a drain plug installed already, however be prepared to get your hands a little dirty not to much though. Just loosen the bolts on the passenger side first. Have your pan ready and then start loosening the driver side pan a little. Whatever you do not let the pan hang by a bolt. You will warp it. No rtv is required just reuse your factory one
