Default transmission cooler location

I'm preparing for the TVS and I'm going to need to relocate my Tru-cool transmission cooler. The intercooler is going in its place, so where do you guys typically put your tranny coolers after a supercharger install? looking for some opinions...

Unless my eyes are lying to me, the tru-cool is way too big to fit in front of the intercooler.

I was planning on mounting it just above and behind the front valence, if not for something else. It's a little close to the ground there, but I think I could get it high enough to sit in between the frame rails to avoid any accidents.

On closer inspection, it looks like it might fit in that space just behind the a-frame bracket. I may be able to squeeze it in there...

Mine is placed below the heat-exvchanger but the GM bumper has 2 nice slots to feed it.

I managed to relocate it to right in front of where it was, in the a-frame bracket. It's a really tight fit, but that makes it perfect since it won't move at all. So the intercooler has room to play now
