1. For mounting, I used the "included in the kit" zip-tie deals, and fastened it directly to the radiator.
2. When I had mine, I fabbed up two shorter lines, and just used a higher quality rubber fuel line to tie it all right back into the factory radiator transmission cooler.
You can buy rubber tranny cooler lines at NAPA.They have a higher burst rate .I had a problem once years ago using rubber fuel line it made a real mess.
When you buy the Trans Cooler it should come with Hi-Temp and Pressure 5/16' Line . They also come with what Looks Like Wire Ties that you can Mount it Right to the Radiator . I have installed a Few Trans Coolers but never in a Monte Carlo for say . But I don't Like to mount any Trans Cooler Right onto the Radiator . I use Strap Iron or make a Bracket off the Radiator Support . I Leave about a 4-5" Gap away from the Radiator and run the Lines only to the Trans Cooler not though the Radiator . This way has always worked well for me . I will be installing a Cooler on my 1983 Monte Carlo soon . Also a Trans Fluid Flush with install of Ford Type-F Fluid will also be an improvement of your TH trans .
LOL! I was told by a trans builder, B&M Trick Shift is type F just has a greenish-blue dye to it. I run it in my 86 with the 200R4 and it hasn't given me any issues
