Trans Cooler Location Idea...

So I'm about to install my cooler when I realize I don't have enough materials. While I'm sitting there thinking if I can make it work with what I do have, I can't, a thought popped into my head, could I cut a hole in the inner fender, the part that is behind the grill and parallel to the radiator, and mount the cooler over the opening? Seems to me it might be more efficient because it would be getting dedicated air, not getting in the way of the rad and its fan, and wouldn't be exposed to anything it isn't when mounted in front of the rad. What do you guys think?

The area I'm thinking is to the left of the radiator above where the hoses are poking through.

I hung my grill up there and then measured the space available and the grill is far enough out to clear everything.

So it appears it will work... but what am I not thinking of or not seeing?
