Power Steering Cooling

Last year I had PSC rebuild by steering box and prep it for ram assist as well. They sent me the ram too, but I never go around to installing it as the box worked so well. Well, my pump died and I just had them rebuild it as well to high flow specs.

My question is that of cooling. This is my 1st gen truck that is my daily driver and occasional trail truck. Should the factory tranny cooler work sufficiently as a ps cooler for this setup? I converted the truck to a 5 speed and still have the cooler up there in front of the intercooler and the tranny doesn't need it any more.

Opinions?
Thanks,
Ken
