I can't say what your particular class restrictions are concerning cooler placements, but if I was doing a race-only car, mine would be located in the rear passenger area with fans and ducting from naca window ducts (Nascar, Grand AM, etc)....both engine oil cooler and transaxle cooler as well. this eliminates concerns of blocking air flow and adding additional heat to the radiator/underhood area. if you were running a blower or turbos (I know you're not, but you could in some venues), you could also put the intercooler in the passenger seat area inside an icebox, similar to the one pictured below:
like I said, I don't know what your class allows, just a thought---
