scott,
Why did you plum the oil cooler lines and remote oil filter on the driver side of the car when the oil comes from the passanger side of the block as well as the cooler itself being mounted passanger side? It looks really good I just was curious more than anything since you specifically said make it as short as possible. Mine is probably a good couple ft shorter. Also i have my cooler mounted so the ends are facing down rather than towards driver side. Do you see this being an issue. thanks
As far as water

-10AN lines are pretty big and don't make sharp corners. So the layout I chose ended up avoiding the headers and running as straight as possible. The oil filter used to be up where the battery normally goes, but I was tired of the mess it made during oil changes so it got moved under the fender.
Anyway, I'm sure there are plenty of other routes that would work. Just keep in mind that ever 90deg fitting is like 12ft of line as far as pressure drop (or something ridiculous like that). I'd definitely run an extra foot or two of line if it avoids sharp turn fittings.
In fact that's why the cooler is rotated 90deg. I can use straight fittings instead of 90deg fittings. Plus, it made mounting it to the existing rad supports easier.
