Is it OK to use braided hose from the 200r to the radiator and aux cooler and back? The cooler kits come with unbraided hose to clamp on for the shorter line runs.

Yes, just keep them tied back from header/exhaust pipes.

I hope so since that's what I ran all the way there and back. Just make sure the hose material is compatible with ATF fluid.
