So why does my -74 Carrera not have front mounted oil cooler?

[nimskov]

Is it because it's got AC and there's no room for the oil lines in the left side of the car? Or is it just not there because the first buyer did not order it?

US Carrera's did not come with them...

I recommend one though.

A/C does not affect it.

The oil lines are on the right side of the car. The auxillary cooler is just in front of the RF wheel, by the horns.

There is a small cooler on top of the engine, right side near the transmission.

As said, the 74 US cars did not have them.

Damn shame...!

Guess it must be some work to install the oil lines etc. but it can be done...?
The AC lines are not in the way?

Oh yeah, I meant right side... seem to always get it wrong... same side as the AC lines anyway

Run them on the pass side of the car, no problem, I have big BB front cooler, line's down the passenger side.

So if I order the replacement oil lines from PP and a late Carrera oil cooler, that would be a good solution then?

I'd like a setup that's as original as possible...

Edit:
Just added the prices for a complete kit from PP, it's almost 2.800USD...

Guess I'll have to look for some used lines, thermostat etc.
