This might help, not sure on the author's accuracy though, I'll look for more references. I'm unqualified to tell you for sure since I did my swap, because my lines are no longer stock.

However, I went from trans out, external cooler, radiator, back to trans input. Reason was same as "maven" in that thread stated. You can over cool trans fluid and the radiator helps to warm the cold transmission especially at startup, as well as cool the hot transmission. In that case, you'd want to hit the external first to cool it down to a manageable temp, then let the radiator stabilize the temp before returning it to the trans.

Still haven't found the keys, I parked it a month ago, but haven't found anything out yet. I am headed to rapid city this morning to help my dad move. I'll stop at rapid chevrolet and let you know.
Thanks, Kyle

On my 2002 the top line out of the trans goes into the top of the radiator. (That's checking from above, but I'm 99% sure I could account for every inch of the line.)

I got my steels and friction module from Whatever It Takes transmission.
I have the Blue Plate clutches:
https://www.wittrans.com/showfilter....93&Section=140
Also, you can get aluminum accumulator pistons from Superior Transmission ( http://www.superior-transmission.com/).
Not much else out there unless you start doing custom stuff. I've dreamt about the elusive Torsen LSD that GM allededly had in the first Grand Am SC/T show car.....
