My coolers disipate the heat and do not need to be in the flow of air. I have (2) 1ft. coolers that are mounted on left and right side of the back side of the main crossmember.

i just got done relocating my extra cooler. it now rests on a bracket under my Monza headlight housing. the cooler lays parallel to the ground,but still should get plenty of air and not impede airflow to the radiator.
