Cooling line routing on v6-TPI swap

I'm swapping an '89 350 TPI (from GTA) into my '87 firebird (was v6) I am trying to find out the new routing for the cooling lines (both the ones coming from the firewall, AND the ones coming out from above the oil filter) I'm assuming this engine has an oil cooler because of the lines mentioned above and was just wondering how they go. Because of this, do i need a special rad, or just a standard v8 rad (i'm guessing my old one won't work because of the reversed outlets)

Thanks

Get a radiator for the application to match the engine.

The oil cooler doesn't go to the radiator. It should all be contained on the engine.
