get one of the B&M plate style coolers.

I prefer this one http://www.summitracing.com/parts/BMM-70268/

Check the BTU rating.
Here in the TX climate, similar to Fla, guys are running 25,000 BTU
units directly (bypassing the rad entirely), and tranny temps stay
well within the recommended temp (190? can't recall exactly...)

Good luck
