It is said that Adi Shankaracharya installed the Sri Chakra in many temples. Is there a list and description of temples where Adi Shankaracharya installed Sri Chakra?

I was interested in the same question, as I had visited many of them. I did some research. I went through the list of all the temples that have a Sri Yantra, and then figured out which all were established by Sri Shankaracharya. As has already been mentioned, there is no standard list, and many of them are claimed to be installed by Adi Shankaracharya. There are no historical records available. I have tried to keep it as clean as possible in order to remove any spurious places. (I have also added a reference to where I found the quote.) The following are the list of temples:
Kanakadurga, Vijaywada, Andhra Pradesh.
Sharadamba, Sringeri, Karnataka.
Mahalakshmi, Kolhapur, Maharashtra.
Kamakshi, Kanchi, Tamil Nadu.
Kamakshi, Nellore, Andhra Pradesh.
Kamakshi, Chennai, Tamil Nadu.
Nimishamba, Mysore, Karnataka.
Meenakshi, Shivanasamudra, Karnataka
Mookambika, Kollur, Karnataka.
Brahmaramba, Srisailam, Andhra Pradesh
Kali, Tiruvottiyur, Tamil Nadu
There is some mention about the Sri Chakra being installed at the Kamakhya temple in Guwahati, and Durga Parmeshwari temple in Kateel as well, but I did not find much information about it.
There is some mention that the Sri Chakra was installed at Jagadamba Sharika Bhagwati in Kashmir by Adi Shankaracharya, but this document tells, "In fact there is no historical evidence or chronicle of that era that Adi Shankaracharya visited Kashmir during short span of his life.".
