I'm certainly no expert on cooling, but I do know that that aux radiator
is mounted in what is considered to be the best position for cooling. I
remember seeing a picture of preferred mounting positions for oil
coolers one time and down low, in the front was where they said it would
get the best cool air.
My point is, that for the size, it probably does more good than you think.
You could try pinching off one of the coolant lines that connects it to
the main radiator if you want to experiment. (just don't damage that hose!)
