2002 Lesabre limited- trans cooler return line at trans location

I'm thinking right in front between the grill and condenser

where about you want to puyt the cooler you think do you have one ?

I don't have a cooler, I had one ordered but when I looked under the car I couldn't see a way to install it. Now looking from above I think I can reach down and cut the hose circled below, whichever is the return hose, and get 2 90° 3/8 barbed fittings as shown in the 2nd pic. 1 each to go to each section of cut hose and run 3/8" trans cooler hose up to the grill area where I can install the cooler.

I just bought these on Amazon. I got the cooler for $38 used on Amazon and the fittings were $7 with clamps

I'm assuming that the rubber section of transmission cooler line that I'm going to cut is 3/8" id am I correct @BuickGirlFromMars ?
