85-86 Auto Trans Cooler re-position

Has anyone re-positioned the oil cooler from horizontal to vertical? Would the recirculation of the fluid be compromised?

It's under pressure, so I can't see how it would be negatively effected

But it can't hurt. Especially since you are boosted.

The Auto 85/86 seem (to me) to run a tad hotter than the manuals, always wondered if it was due to the added Trans cooler in the Rads side tank?
