To cool or not to cool?

Hey guys,

Finishing up my swap and was getting ready to put on my oil filter adapter and noticed i dont have the bolts to install the adapter to the block. When i looked up part #'s for the bolts i find only stud bolts for the oil filter adapter and oil cooler adapter. My question here is does anyone here run 350's w/out oil cooler lines and if so have you had any problems? If Im gonna have to put the oil cooler lines and oil cooler adapter on, im gonna have to get a whole bunch of components, but i have a feeling it might be worth it. I had a couple of 305 engines and I never had oil cooler lines for the oil system, only tranny cooler lines.

Thanks,
