Lightbulb AT tranny cooler area in radiator.......

Ok well hopefully I can get my TB mod done this month and set it up in my car. My question is dealing with the cooling lines that are removed with the TB mod...
I have an AT radiator in my car from an 88 gxl I was wondering about the little hook-ups on it for the tranny fluid I don't want to waist that area so could I flush it out and run the coolant lines from the block to the nipples for like 1% more cooling

If you really wanted to be ****, you would be better off running the AT radiator lines to a small pump and secondary radiator in front to get extra cooling.

You won't get any extra cooling using just the AT section.

yeah except the red lines would tie together, rather than run to the engine

What kind of a pump should I look for? ooh could I use this with some sort of a cooling jacket for the oil filter? Anyone think it would be worth it? I know oil cooling is not really a problem with us but cooling is cooling right?
