Oil filter relocation – 3

This is what I’m going to install in the car:

Still WIP, but I’m getting there. Slowly.

I got the alternator back where it should be and I started to tear down the original oil cooler lines and components. Old oil lines were of course deteriorated and the hanging A/C compressor didn’t help much with the workspace 🙂

I had thought that I could put the oil filter base from my spare engine, because it doesnt have place for the oil cooler port, but that turned out to be fantasy. so Im just going to plug the cooler hole and see what happens. I’ll get back to that when I’m swapping the spare engine.

The banjo bolt I need to replace:

Then the whole thing, A/C compressor on the right:

I think the worst part is now done. This whole thing took about 8 hours and I still need to route the relocation kit hoses and bolt the A/C compressor back.
