i might be mistaken but i don't think thats a coolant hose your looking for. I believe you want the oil cooler hose.
the only coolant hoses i know of are all on the passenger side going to the heater core, the water pump area, and the air bleed line that runs along the passenger side head and throttle body.

The oil cooler uses radiator coolant to exchange heat with the oil, so there are in fact lines that run beside the oil pan on the drivers side to and from the oil cooler. It makes it that much more fun to pull the oil pan with the engine still in the car.
I am pretty sure there are people running without an oil cooler. Try a search in this section and you should find an answer.
