Just want to be sure that there are no hidden downsides before I start sourcing parts
I could only guess here, but yes.. and It`s not the AC loosing efficiency Im most worried about..
I don`t want to put anything in front of the Ac/rad..

Think two coolers , or one bigger in stock location is the way too go for now..

And then there is always the possibilty to put fans in front of the oil cooler(s) aswell.

if there are no bent fins on the oil cooler,condensor and radiator,then you shouldnt have a problem with the A/C and coolant temp.i havent seen a change in my coolant temps(even tho ive been tracking an over heating problem for quite sometime now)btw,those 2 stock oil coolers look awsome,but dont you have to take the condensor to mount the oil cooler on that side?

Still cold,

Do you need A/C up there in the Great White North
Yep, there are some days we hit 30, sometimes 35*C, and I hate having to listen to everybody else's engines, music, yammering, etc. that you have to put up with when you have your windows down.

Anyone know the oil and controls flow path?

I know where the parts physically are, but I dont know the oil flow paths through the filter housing assembly:

Oil is drawn out of the pan through the pickup, runs through a galley to the pump, is pushed up to the filter housing assembly, either past or through the thermostat, out to the coolers, back to the housing, through the oil filter, then to the engine components. In what part of the flow path is the pressure relief located, and the pressure sender?

My guess is that the relief is located in the path between the pump and the thermostat, and the sender is after the filter(?)...
