Oil Cooler Swap Question

ok i just got a air oil cooler from a gsl-se to go in my 84 gs

i was wondering should i just keep the cooler that is already on there and just use them both?

i noticed that i dont even have to remove it to install the air oil cooler

I'd trash the old oil-water 'cooler' if I were you. They don't do much to cool the oil, they heat up the engine coolant, and they're VERY prone to leaking.

Yea mine leaks like a bitch. Does anyone have any pics of where the cooler lines attach to the engine? And how exactly to do this swap? Water/oil coolers blow, scrap it, I'm gonna. Later

oh man if you get one from a 1984-85 gsl-se it bolts right in,
the mounting location is right there and ready to be used,
the spots where they plumb into the engine are also the same,
the locations are on the passenger side and not in use,
until you do the swap of course.

will take pics when i get a new digi.
