Am I missing something???

I just bought a tranny cooler kit from Jack Cotton.
It has the cooler, the hardware to attach it to the x braces in front of the rad, and 2 lines with clamps.
The instructions say to run it inline with the existing cooler in the rad, but how do I do this??
If I clamp the hose over the line going into the cooler, how do I route it back through the cooler without another fitting and solid line? I dont want to cut the line if I dont have to, to splice in the cooler. What do I need to put this in?
Also, from what I remember, our tranny cooler lines are backwards somehow from normal. Which line do I want to use to go into the cooler. And is it better to run the rad cooler before or after the extra cooler? I have heard that in cooler climates (upstate NY) its best to run through the rad first to warm up the fluid in cold weather.
With my bad luck with trannys in all my cars, I figured I better ask first just to be safe.
Thanks

Here is a pic by Mosher and is what I used. Also search by Bruce Toelle or look in Trans folder here, they were just discussing about using 2 coolers and also an external trans filter. I like the sound of that filter, it is on the PTS web site.

See, I look at that diagram, and that makes me think I am missing something. I thought that was how it was supposed to go together...
My lines go straight into the rad, there arent any couplings in the line before that. The lines come off the trans and go directly into the cooler.
I am thinking I will hafta bend one of the lines, and find another line and fitting to go back into the rad cooler. I might have to cut a tranny line off a junkyard car, and use that to go from one cooler to the other.
Either that, slice through the line I have, and splice it in that way, but Im not sure I really want to cut it apart.
