Default Setrab 25 row oil cooler mounting

I am trying to find a good place to locate the 25 row Setrab Series 6 oil cooler. I am working on ducting to seal the radiator to the bumper cover and adding the tubular radiator brace at the same time.
I am hoping that air will pass from the higher pressure radiator duct area, through the oil cooler and into the lower pressure area under the bumper cover to exit. This is assuming that my radiator duct will be sealed well against the bumper cover to maximize air flow through the radiator and oil cooler..

Might even leave off the upper radiator block off cover to let the oil cooler air exit there since that should be lower engine bay pressures.

Anyone else mount an oil cooler like this?

I got rid of the latch and went to hood pins to make more room for the OC in that cavity.

Here's how I did my 19 row. Ditched the hood latch, welded on some bosses on top of intercooler for the bottom mounts.
