You did know, or you didn't know? There are a few different ones which were used and a couple are more obtrusive than others. I believe the one from 91'+ models was the easiest as it was mounted pretty much over the bumper the whole way; This is how I mounted my aftermarket PS cooler, but I mounted mine to the support bar and ran hose to it from the hard pipe which I cut off after it came out under the headlight. '89+ GTEs may have had a similar setup but I believe there were subtle differences (which I can no longer recall).

At any rate. Installing the cooler next to the IC is fine if you don't plan on upgrading your IC. I mounted mine in front of the A/C condenser on the passenger side where the assisting fan is located between the condenser and the radiator... So it may take advantage of the extra pull on hot days. There's less room in there to fit stuff that we usually think so think it out for a while and maybe find a local vendor so you can hold it in place to see if any of the mounting locations you're thinking of will work.
