Re: oil cooler can just plug them off?
If you are talking about the cooler that fits between oil filter and block , you can leave the holes open if no coolant lines hooked up.
You have to change the bolts that hold the oil filter adapter out for regular hex head ones that don't have the studs on then to locate the cooler.
Then you can delete the cooler altogether and just fit the filter to the block as normal

Simply remove it, it spins on, if you remove it the filter will spin on the regular oil filter adapter.
You can remove the liens and hook the lnie from the hard line on the frame direct to the rad
