how should i run my external cooler lines on my 69 camaro? I am running a SBC radiator without a built in trans cooler. I dont have any room to drill holes in the core support because of the battery location. would it be best to run metal lines to the core support then run rubber lines from the front of the radiator under the core support then back to the hard lines? i dont want it to look tacky.

did you ever figure this out, I was planning to install two bulkhead connectors (AN -6) through the core support right next to the radiator, not enough room for that?

This is what I did: I used hardline from the block up to frame cross member (along the side of the block on the bottom and between the pulleys and frame) and then ran Earl's line with AN fittings into oil cooler thermostat, then from the thermostat to the cooler I ran braided line again to the cooler and same deal on the return.
