"Much of the cooling is done by the lines. Thats why the original oil cooler was the trumbone which was just more brass lines.. braded lines are a downgrade."
Only when the trombone "cooler" is used. It's not really an effective radiator.

"Just a thought, why not install a oil cooler under the decklid just like they do with the aircond condenser ? Shorter oil lines, more air with ducktail or whale tail."
Because heat transferred from the oil to the oil cooler would be recycled as heated air into the engine. The A/C condenser was also misplaced due to the same reason mentioned. There wasn't a better place to put it.
