As promised, here is my take on the NNBS conundrum. My truck is a 2008 Yukon Denali. I hope the OP/seller doesn't mind me adding to this.

Here is the first impression after the nose was removed. You can see there are two air temp sensors instead of one like on the NBS. This can be fixed by simply drilling an additional hole on the passenger side of the lower EAD bracket. Also there is the addition of a hood latch sensor at the top which the harness connection is attached to the right brace in two places. Personally, I think this can be solved with zip ties or attached to the upper right bolt with wire loom clamp.

More detail of how this harness is mounted.
The brackets fit very nicely. Same as my NBS Suburban.
This is with the cooler mocked up. Looks like it's going to work for me.
This is the passenger side cooler fitting. Looks like it will be close using stock lines. It's just plastic so nothing a Dremel tool couldn't handle.
And the driver side fitting.
Here is the clearance with the nose back on. I know it looks like it isn't on all the way, but there is another filler piece at the top where the gap is.
So in conclusion, I'm going to use it. I know a lot of you Silverado guys can't determine if it will work from this, but just pull the upper cover or possibly grill and see if it looks like my first pic. It's a has to be more work to get a Denali nose off and it only took 15 minutes. As for the stock lines, sorry but I'm not going to mock those up. Mine are leaking and I'm going to use -6 AN fittings and hose to replace mine. I bought a 6L80E to -6 AN fitting from Bowler Transmissions that will work great. If you want to use AN hose for a 4L80E or 4L60E, I know those fittings are available too. I bought some from Sweet Performance for my Suburban. I hope this clears up some doubt and confusion for the NNBS crowd.

Thanks for the pics. According to the pics, from what I remember, that is a different setup than the NNBS trucks. I'm almost positive the bottom brace for the stock trans cooler on the NNBS trucks is welded on, and not bolted like the NBS trucks and NNBS Yukon like you pictured, otherwise the Yukon looks like it's using the same core support bracing as a NBS.
I still haven't got a NNBS here to play with. I don't know anyone that owns one and no one has offered one up for fitment.

Maybe it can contribute to the NNBS SUV owners then.
*EDIT* According to the install instructions that came with my TVS-1900, the 09 and up SUV's bottom crossmember is welded. So that wasn't much help at all.
