Default A/C condenser=Huge friggin tranny cooler?

Anybody thought of using an ac condeser as a tranny cooler? Its there already if you had ac and since mine is inop anyway just thought about flushing the condenser really good and plumbing it up as the biggest most awesome tranny cooler ever! Any thoughts?

I did it on my last build. After I converted the AC pump to OBA. Works perfect. Then I used my stock tranny cooler as a power steering cooler. My power steering pump was way happier.

Good to know it works, my thought was the extra fluid capacity since ive got 260k on my tranny, and why spend the $30 when I have a cooler thats 4x as big for free?
