I put a cooler on mine about a month ago, right off the bat I notice a difference from the way the tranny shifted.
Basically I could tell when the tranny was hot because my shifts became lazy, it was slipping but i just knew it was shifting the same way it did during a cold start.
Anyhow, a tranny cooler should have been put stock on these cars from the factory, if I end up with another sports car with a auto I will put a cooler and that one as a first mod.
Oh and I ran mine on the passenger side up and through the fold were the radiator is, I did not want to drill any holes in my air dam, I should have yanked out the condenser when I changed my radiator as I have no ac, would have gave me alot more room. oh wellz.
I went with this one from jegs http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/60381/10002/-1 not as big as the B&M but thats ok, and I have mine going from the stock radiator cooler to external cooler back to the transmission.

The hoses should fit with no problem with the condenser on, I still had room to slide them through on the side where the battery and radiator fit, its snug, but hoses are in no way crimped.
I know I would have had alot more room if i yanked my condenser off, but I always tell myself yeah imma a compressor and put my ac back in, and another summer comes and goes with no ac.
