Switching external trans cooler to new radiator

Hi, my name is Debbi. I am hoping this is simple...
I replaced my radiator today on my Dodge W150.
My ? Is can I take the external trans cooler, wich is attached to the old radiator, off and put it on the new one? I have already done the job and just hooked up the trans lines to the radiator. Thank you for any help

Yes, some of the inexpensve coolers are zip tide to the radiator, a side cutters should beable to cut it off. stop at the auto parts store to get a remount kit. I zip tide one to a radiator and it wore a hole in the radiator, I did not have the coushions that the kit comes with

Thank you

The one on the old radiator has, I guess, kit ties. I don't understand....it looks like they go right through the core. Thanks in advance for your patience. I'm really afraid of ruining the new radiator. The old is brass and copper. The new is plastic and aluminum.

I've never liked the through the core types of hangers for axillary coolers. You can get creative and fabricate something that attaches to the radiator support.
