it should be a 12A, 83-85, it has the original spark plug wires on it, so it can't have more than 150k on it

beehive's EASIER as it's already there. FC OC, or, FB/something similar is better as the amount of heat removal it provides is a lot greater, but more work's involved to install

I just finished mounting a radiator style from an FC. It really wasn't that hard piggybacking on the regular radiator mounts.

As for having both? I think you could but it would be pointless and there would be more resistance so the oil pump would have to work harder. No idea if it would be significant. In seriousness the 12a with a beehive is fine, so long as you keep the engine stock-ish.
