110% You'll burn up your trans if you remove it from the radiator! But do add one. I added the heat exchanger type. It doesn't need to be mounted where it can get air flow, but I put it where it could anyway...

I added an aux cooler to my truck like 8 years ago. I've put over 40K miles on my 700R so far.

This was just a mock up pic, it's installed on the front cross member:
