well.......
No I don't think it's worth it - I think it's probably overkill. A good plate cooler between the A/C and radiator would be more than adequate.
I would also recommend replacing your ATF with Redline High Temp ATF.
Some members have placed their cooler in series with the stock one, others parallel and some bypass it completely. As noted elsewhere the early '92 models had a mesh screen in the stock rad cooler that tends to clog, later years had a different design.
I have a '92 so I also plan on replacing the radiator with the updated '94-'97 design. I know it's anal (and expensive) but that's just me. I have a B&M 19,000 GVW plate cooler to install with it - I'll put it where it fits the best, not too concerned if it's in front of or behind the radiator.
