All rotary engine US cars have the air to oil cooler except the US 1983 to 1985 12a engine cars.
Which have the water to oil cooler that is located under the oil filter.

Yep, 83-85 12a's have the beehive oil cooler. However for the 84 and 85 guys, the mounts are there for you to put in a GSL-SE oil cooler without any problems.
I used one from a FC, and mounted it in the air dam.

You would not need to install a GSL-SE oil cooler in a '81-82 because those were equip with the short radiators and the oil cooler is mounted under.
The reason you would use a GSL-SE oil cooler would be if you have the taller 83-85 style radiator.
Personally its easier to find a '79-'82 style oil cooler and buy the short style 3 row radiator.
I have a Rx-4 oil cooler that would work up front like a GSL-SE plus it has a extra row for more cooling.
