A trombone style is an external cooler. I think what you mean is that you will add/change to a radiator type cooler. Unless you mean at add an auxiliary cooler which would be in the front valance and require some type of opening for flow.
There were several styles of external coolers.
An early radiator style that was on some 73S and 73RS cars
The trombone, which you have and came stock some mid-years and most SC's
The 28-tube brass cooler which were found on some Euro cars, euro Carreras and SCs
And the radiator style which was primarily found on Turbos, late SCs and 3.2 Carreras
Most of these cookers are an easy upgrade if you already have the trombone. If you don't, then you need the lines, and clamps that run down the passenger rocker. Fairly easy to find or buy the kit ($pendy) from either Pelican or Elephant racing. Either way you go this is helpful and warranted upgrade
