Today was productive.

I fabbed the bracket to mount the cooler, some attachment points in the front trunk and painted everything when I was done. Some pics:

A good day overall. Now to decide on the air inlet and exhaust configuration, as well as where to run the oil lines.

I was thinking about mounting some puller fans behind the bracket. Any suggestions on the best place to source these?
