i say yes but i would add that you should install the transmission cooler no matter what. even if you don't tow, add the cooler. i just picked one up for my 1997 OBS and i'm not going to be doing any towing, but it's a well spent 30 bucks and couple minutes to install.

The cooler attaches to the front of the radiator usually suiing some zip tie system.

My instalation was similar, I used a different model of Hayden and did't use the plastic straps, so the fan did not heve to come out.

its real easy, just get a decent kit and its all there. The coolant lines already run to the radiator. there is a small cooler in there already. I do beleiove your just disconnecting that from the radiator, cutting off the neds of the lines, and usinng hose clamps to attach.

Most people put radiator cooler first and external cooler second in serial connection. I googled for this nice guide for you, send me payment via paypal! :-)

The reason I didn't remove fan was I used a custom mount, attaching it to the frame. Those plastic thingies are lame and make the cooler almost stuck to the AC condenser..
