Default Power Steering cooler

Who's running a Power Steering cooler? Where did you mount it?

Yep, 1st gen F-body. I'm making a few minor changes to some plumbing, and I thought if I ever needed a cooler, now would be the perfect time to do it.

I used a DSE, made two aluminum brackets and mounted it vertically on the driver side front of the radiator support.

On my junk yard project, I used a small ford truck, 80's transmission cooler.
Perfect size. Has brackets that are very cool and almost usable. Plus it's a 'stacked plate' design, think 'Setrab'.
Mounted it vertically, off to the drivers side, but not in front of the radiator.
Hardlined from the power steering box to the cooler and mostly hardlined back to the pump (short rubber hose and an inline filter too).

On Mary's 73 camaro I installed a small tube and fin PS cooler 3/4" thick vertically on the driver's side in front of the radiator. After a track session, I can hold my hand on the reservoir, no problem.

EDIT:
Here's a photo of the cooler on our second gen, you could hide it by putting it behind the core, or even hang it below.
