LT1 fans,tranny cooler, and Nelson harness installed last night
Well, finally I finally got a load off my mind and got my permacool tranny cooler installed. I ran it in the middle of the grille, hoses down through two holes cut in little plastic piece between grille and bumper, then spliced into the top line(which better be the return line) 
Since I had already gotten most of the stuff out of the way for that install, we decided to go ahead and install my LT1 fans with my Nelson fan harness. We used two pieces of stainless steel to mount the fans onto, and the Nelson fan harness is simple as hell to install. Just follow the instructions he gives you. One fan cuts on when the ac is cut on, and my PCM is now controlling the fans on and off. Very factory looking install!!! Pics hopefully by tonight. I'm just glad it's all done. It is raining here, so it doesn't look like I'm going to make it to the track tonight. 
Oh, well, I still have until the 5th to get some kinda idea what this thing will do at the track.

Your tranny thanks you for the cooler, I'm sure. The LT1 fans are really nice, too. I have had mine installed for about 3 months and my truck has never run cooler. I didn't really notice any SOTP difference, but the lower noise level at WOT is quite apparent. What's next on the list??

Hey man, off topic, but what brand of hood do you have? Looks good.

It's a Goodmark cowl hood. I love it on the truck!

I dont remember which is top, but I do remember starting the truck and holding each of the two tranny fluid lines in my hand. I could tell which one was getting hot and used that as my inlet. I believe it was the top, but now im gonna check
