trying to keep her cool

Kiss, I'm going with the same setup as you. I plan on going through the radiator coming out of the drivers side port on the radiator to the cooler and then out of the cooler into the factory hard line back to the transmission. What adapters did you use and any pic's ?
If you use 5/16" fuel line (hard line) like I did, the fitting flared onto it is a 1/2-20 inverted flare. These will work for both your radiator and transmission, assuming they're stock:

1/8 NPT to 1/2-20 Inverted Flare Fuel Line Brass Adapter 45 Degree 5/16" Tube | eBay

I just used the straight one personally.
EDIT: Here's a pack of them for a great price:

Note-- I wasn't able to bend the line all in 1 shot. I had to splice it together with a short piece of regular 5/16 fuel hose. If you run into this just use a line beading tool or put a little flare at the end of the hard line. Secure both ends together with a short piece of 5/16 fuel hose and use good tight hose clamps.
