Couple things.....

First....these cars don't have oil coolers.

Second. I can understand doing a tranny cooler....but why a power steering/engine oil cooler? I mean....don't you think it's overkill from to have it? Espeically since you aren't boosted...you aren't making high hp numbers? There is no significant gains in using it. I'm just curious why one would bother doing something on an engine that at the moment, doesn't even need it.

do a tranny cooler if you are auto....it will extend the life of the tranny. But other than that I would not install any sort of fluid cooler on a second gen. I have a P/S cooler on my fourth gen, but that is because having to re-route the P/S lines right over the hot supercharger. If you do decide to install a cooler, I would recomend zip tieing it to the front of the ac evap (the thing in front of the radiator)
