To take any chances on not doing something as inexpensive as those 2 things when you have spent all that money on your motor and invested all that time is not logical.
My advice is also to replace the water pump/hoses and thermostat at the same time. Unless of course those have just been done. PREVENTIVE maintenance is CHEAP insurance.

Haven't actually gone and checked, but a place that works on automatic transmissions might be able to help you, I'd imagine they clean auto trans coolers all the time, and they are very similar in design to our oil coolers. when I was swapping engines I flushed my oil cooler out with some auto trans flush stuff I bought at NAPA, lots of lovely crap came out, glad I did it.
