    i had one on the old vic, mounted in front of the radiator.

    ive seen people mount them in between the radiator and condensor as well. im not sure what is best. it seems its a matter of preference as far as i know.

      In front of the condensor is where the stock cooler mounted. If you're not towing, the smallest one you can find will do fine. The stock police/tow cooler is probably half the size of the smallest thing you'll be able to find.

        i was looking at mine a while back, i have the normal one in the radiator plus another cooler in front of the condensor which leaks. they run in series and it looks factory installed. i assume it came with the tow package even though i dont have air shocks.

          I have a B&M (I think) tranny cooler mounted in front of my radiator. It would've been in front of the condenser but that's strangely missing from my car. This one is a stacked plate design, which is much more efficient than the fin & tube ones. I'll sell it to you for relatively cheap if you'd like. I won't be needing it anymore...

              auto-level air shocks were a seperate option from the tow package, but they were commonly ordered together. A K code rear would also come with the tow package though.

                    only covers about 3/4 of the top part of teh rad. it is a 8-pass and a 6-pass cooler plumbed in series. this set up is way too much for a street car, but with a 10" converter that stalls at 2600 i build alot of heat and this set up keeps my temps at 180 or less unless i am stallign against the converter then it will hit around 200-210for a few seconds
