Default oil cooler removal in an lq4

Putting an lq4 in my 68 camaro. The engine has lines for an oil cooler.

how do I get rid of these lines? Is there a block off plate? Where do I get it and what are the part numbers? Thanks!

You'll probably have to get rid of them by swapping pans, as the truck pan is going to hang down waaaay low. I swapped to the Hummer H3 pan (LH8) sold as the GM muscle car swap pan, and it's still going to hang down too much, really. I know I have a different car, but the truck pan is really only good in...well, a truck. This pan only saves a little bit, but every bit counts. It was worth it for a new gasket, dipstick, hardware, etc.

The stock, passenger car plate will replace the cooler lines.
Should be available from any GM dlr.

Tossing that pan will solve the cooler line problem now and the hanging-too-low problem you're going to run into later. Aside from that you can get that car 'plate or a piece on ebay that blocks the holes and provides a place to run a pressure line/sender (or you can tap the car plate to run one).
