I am going to fit a cooler to mine, eventually.

Don't really need it though, I have been told it will help stop the milkshake effect when working the box and pump hard. This is where the pump cavitates and fills you box with airated fluid. The cooler gives the fluid a chance to settle down before going into the pump again.

Just to add to this, I had my power steering pump 90 degrees to what it should have been recently. Not much fluid came out of it. Don't think there is going to be a problem. Hope you appreiciate the R&D costs :D
