There are some pictures on my MSN site of the cooler. I don't know if that will help. I could take some for you if needed.

Heater hoses? Just run one like stock, to the firewall. If you engine has the Tee under the oil filter, just block off the now unused port.

You should only have to block one water port on the motor, and one on teh heater hardline.

Either use 2 hose caps with clamps, or run an extra hose to connect the two.

OK I think your a little confused dude. I took a look at ur pic and this is what you need to do. The hose that goes to nothing, needs to be removed. You just need to simpily put a cap on the unused section of the T.

cut the t off both the block and that tube, and you'll be left with one hose from the firewall to the block and one from the firewall to that tube going to the radiator. blocked off t's look like ***.

there is no T in the pipe on the block, this in an SA engine

but that pipe that goes to the radiator that has the T in it, just cut the T and thats it?

yeah but you'll probably have to unbolt it from the framerail, its too short if you cut it. i just didn't like the way the bolt looked i used to cap it off at first.

Well, if you want it to look the "right" way get the hard water line from a 79-82 car, its made for the air oil cooler and has no Tee on it. Also the stock heater hose will work exactly as it should and look stock as well. Asuming you can find one thats the way to go.
