I ordered an auxiliary trans cooler, but found out it's on back order

Plan "B"

remembered I had a cooler from a cummins
has the correct size fittings as the trans
normal life it resides under the exhaust manifold and turbo
also behind the oil cooler, doesn't get any fresh air

trans lines- cut 2 holes and run the line inside the inner fender/ build a rock guard
then into bulkhead connectors, along the frame/above the t-bar then in front of the trans cross member, turn up/forward into the trans case

cooling line- normal line going from water pump housing to the factory in car heater
out of heater and into back of trans cooler
out of trans cooler into upper radiator tank

Makes a circle/loop, trying to make a clean install

no room to mount it on the driver's side, plus the water line would have to cross over the engine

Do you think it will work???
or wait for the other cooler

thanks
