Deleting oil cooler??? We dropped my new motor in last night, and decided to leave my old oil cooler off. What do I have to do with the radiator? Just buy another radiator hose? Thanks.

Remove the lines, and the adapter on the block, then you just go. If the radiator is new, it won't have any oil in it and you don't have to block anything off. Otherwise, you can just cap it off, or clean it out with one of those compressed can with cleaner in it.
