Mounting the tranny cooler

Ok, I just got my tranny cooler (B&M 70268) and remote filter...
Where have you guys located yout tranny coolers.
I was gonna mount mine in front of the A/C condenser coil but there does not seem to be enough room between that and the bumber...
I am thinking about putting it between the A/C coil and the radiator... See any problems with that?

Also does anyone have instructions on how to remove the front bumper???

Thanks.

There is plenty of room in front of the AC condenser, and removing the front bumper (beam and cover together) is a snap. There is a row of bolts along the top, a row of them along the bottom securing the splash guard, a couple in each wheel well and then the four big ones holding in the beam itself.

I don't know why you'd mount it between the radiator and AC condenser. It seems to me that doing it that way you're just sandwiching it in between two hot things. Out in front the cooler gets the air first and it's not so big that it affects the operation of the condenser.

With the size of my cooler, I think it will be a little tight (if not too tight) in front of the A/C condenser coil....

For the bumper, I see the 4 big ones holding the beam.
4 bolts on the bottom, and the ones in the wheel well, but where are the row of bolts along the top?

Thanks...

Dumb question....

where did Subaru situate the stock trans oil cooler? How can I take a peak at it?
