Oil cooler removal questions.

I am removing my stock coolant oil cooler, and will eventually put on an aftermarket oil cooler.

My question is do i need a new oil filter adapter, or do i just need to replace the two bolts with ones that have shorter heads. I already took off the factory oil filter coolant sandwich and I tried to put the filter on, but it was hitting the bolt heads.

My main question is can i use the stock adapter that is already between the sandwich and block.

Shorter bolts should do it. I took mine off for good. I'm running a 7qt. oil pan so I don't need it.
