You're slowly running out of things to install and re-assemble. This is starting to get good.

as long as the above routing is correct adding the larger tranny cooler turned out MUCH better than I expected.

Didn't need any aftermarket lines, just 2 inverted flare to -6AN adapters, 2 -6AN tubing nuts/collars, and one 90deg -6AN fitting. Made two bends with a handheld bender (one 25deg inlet side, one 90deg outlet side); next cut off the factory ends; then flared them to 37deg, done, call it good. Turned out super clean and here's what I did:

Thumbs up

Everything's looking good, Grippy!!! Don't mean to be a dick, but remember this: If you go to the local hose suplier (like Parker Store or any hydraulic supply), they may sell you a -6 fitting, but they usually deal in JIC, not AN stuff. I found out the hard way. JIC wil work on AN stuff, and vice versa, but they will leak. And you'll break a fitting trying to get it tight enough to stop leaking. I'm sure you've already addressed this, but I thought I'd throw it out there, anyway. Best of luck to ya, bro!!!

It goes on the back of one of the cylinder heads (driver's side?). I suppose it helps rout the wiring and brake booster hose. The dowell fits into one of the accessorie bolt holes and the bracket is held by the one bolt. I don't belive it has any other purpose and may not be necessary for your build.
Of course it may be a part that is only needed for installation by the factory. I don't think you'll miss it if you leave it off.
