Installed my cooler in series of the radiator and works great. It cost me around $54.00 shipped to my door.
Sounds like a value! Once installed, what's the proper method to fill ATF to proper level? My guess is the new cooler is at a greater height than the trans fill plug, on the side of the trans pan? Is there a separate fill plug in the cooler itself?

Mine measures 16"w x 6"h. That width includes the mounting flanges (body is ≈ 15"w).
I don't know the model number, but a phone call to A&A should be able to answer that (it's not on their website).
