Biggest problem is the necessity of cutting the front bodywork for an 
air-to-oil cooler, since the radiator opening is barely big enough for the water rad 
and adding yet another heat-producer up there (rad + AC condenser) may cause 
more heat-related problems than it solves. Your stock GT-5 oil cooler is 
essentially useless- unducted, too small & postioned behind the water rad in a 
hot-air stream, which is why it was removed. Good luck- J DeRyke
