Default VQ35hr rad question with a/t

i have a 2008 350z slightlt modified. anyway temps are getting hotter and hotter every year here in ny and i want to keep her cool so im installing a bigger power steering cooler but i wanna put a bigger rad my problem is i have an A/T so my question is if i get a rad that says m/t only as long as i run an external A/T cooler will i be fine ?

I will never take this car anywere to have work done bad experince with shops and staelership screwing me.

mods so far are:
drilled and slotted rotors and ceramic pads front and rear(installed)
turbo xs test pipes (removed up for sale)
kentic racing hfc ( installed)
custom diy oil cooler(waiting to be installed )
custom diy power steering cooler(waiting)

All the stuff listed waiting i have to wait for some down time the z is my only car so when i have a few days i will bang everything out real quick. also gonna paint my headlighs and do demon eye and halo

I think the first thing you should do to improve cooling is to move the front plate so it's not blocking a third of the grill opening.

I don't track my Z but I tell you that damn engine bay is pretty damn hot even a good 1 1/2 hours after driving it, the water temp is fine so I'm not to worried. It just runs hot, for me that is. Yes I have an HR.
