Rob,
I'm sort of going through a similar issue myself. I just recently got a 3.0 into my 77 and the car had a weird cooler under the right rear fender. This was working out fine but it recently let go and I thought the cooler blew.
After removing the whole setup it turns out that the aeroquip lines cracked at the fittings and now I'm looking into doing it right. From the research that I have done on this board and talking to others I have found that the stock or any aftermarket hard lines are the way to go. The alternatives in hoses just don't dissapate the heat like a hard line will do.
I have decided to go with the carrera cooler and stock lines since this seems to be the best route, and if it isn't enough, then adding the fan to the cooler should cover it. I haven't heard of anyone with this setup complain about heat yet.
