Default moving trans cooler

have any of you ever moved the factory cooler to the front on the A/C condensor? Any thoughts as to why I shouldnt. Maybe while I am at it just replace it with a bigger one? Thanks, Steve

Provided that the hood will close, it shouldn't be a problem. There may be a slight loss in the cooling capacity of the a/c condenser.

If you are going to install a larger one, you could always put in in there in addition to, as opposed to instead of... the stock one.

I plan on getting a B&M trans cooler. That's what I have in most of my other cars. They have a bypass built in so it diverts the fluid when it's cold then runs it through the cooler when it's hot. I don't have a trans temp gauge on any of the cars with the B&M though so I just take their word for it lol.
