Technically, with enough extra hose, you could mount it anywhere that is safe and does not expose the cooler core to road debris. I have not heard of anyone mounting a cooler in your chosen location though. You would also most likely need more transmission fluid because of the extra hose that would be needed. I recommend staying under the hood because the less hose that is used the less likely it is to get damaged. Plus it will be easier to install.
If extra hose is needed a ten foot section, # D15700, would probably be enough. You can also use clamps, # D13008.
