Yes it is more stress on the power steering but it should be fine. The stock power steering cooler on the 370Z is the same as the Nismo power steering cooler that you can buy aftermarket for the 350Z. I have run 295 Hoosiers, up front on my time attack 350Z with the Nismo power steering cooler without any problems whatsoever and it isn't even in direct airflow like the 370Z one is.
Placing the oil cooler near the back would be fine, but you may have to run a pump to help get the fluids to travel all that distance.
