Yeah you can. It wont be that hard. Just run the hoses like a normal trans cooler but to the condensor. Anyways I don't know if it would be that good. It might restrict some pressure. Might make you go slower. But it would definetly cool way better. But I think you would need about 11 or more extra quarts of oil

hrmm never thought of this one, although i wouldnt reccomend it without checking and being 100% sure, but i think it would restrict too much flow, and wind up starving your tranny...

Do yourself a favor and buy a B&M supercooler. You'll improve the cooling of the radiator, lose weight from the front end, and have less pressure drop on the transmission line circuit.
Here's my supercooler install page:
