Get a proper ball hone and be done with that situation. Second, get as big a cooler as you can stuff in front of the radiator. You'll want maximum cooling potential. Heat kills auto trannies...period. Especially when you're transferring high power as it creates a lot of heat in the converter.
Regarding the plug and play with the trans lines. You'll be dealing with the lines no matter what. You can make custom lines with rubber hoses so you can just stick a bolt or plug in the rubber side where it plugs into the cooler when removing this trans for the proper gearbox to go back in and roll up the rubber lines like a garden hose and secure them with a zip tie while in storage. Then, you can get little nipple covers for the inlet/outlet of the cooler so you don't have to remove it. They'll hold on just fine, I do this on power steering systems and auto tranny swaps at the dealership on a daily basis.
Regarding your question about the cooling fan for the trans cooler, I think running it off that switch for the electric water pump would be great. Especially if you place the cooler in front or behind the radiator. Then you can use a push fan in front of the pair and a pull fan behind the pair. Awesome flow . Although, you'll most likely only need one fan if you do it right the first time. So, you may just find another use for that circuit or just not use it when you have this engine in it.
And finally, with the question about the cam tool, I have nothing to add regarding this. We only have overhead cams at my dealership so I won't be able to help you there. But try this link, it has some really good info for your use in the future when you have common questions and can't find the search button on the forums
