Default PS Fluid Cooler ?

Couple questions..
My PS fluid cooler is pretty banged up and needs some help so....
I have an integral oil cooler going unused in a Ron Davis radiator..was thinking about routing the power steering fluid thru it....will it cool the PS fluid any better than the oe C5Z PS cooler ??

if I decide to replace the oe PS cooler, any more efficient units available that are close to a direct fit ?

thanks for any input !

Looks like an upside-down B&M Supercooler - done that on another car and it did work well. I was hoping to mount in the or position.
