Transmission cooler

Do any of you have A/C and an automatic transmission in your 53-56? If so, where did you mount your trans cooler without affecting the efficiency of your a/c evaporator?

Not a 53-56 but, I had the same issue on a non Ford so I mounted a big trans cooler horizontally behind the front bumper. I fabricated a shroud and mounted an electric fan on it. Back when I did it there was no fan cooler combos like today. Cooled very well and I am in AZ.
