Expert Reply:

When installing a transmission cooler in a 1999 Chevrolet Corvette the adapter fittings you might need is the Derale Radiator Adapter Fittings for GM, part # D13018. These fittings are only needed if your Corvette has a 5/8 inch hex size fitting on the transmission line. If you have a different hex size, then you do not need the adapter fittings.

The # D13018 adapter part is two fittings, which is all you will need to install a transmission cooler to your Corvette.

The Derale Snap-In Radiator Adapter Fitting, part # D13035, that you have referenced is not for your vehicle.
