My car is a strip car only 0 street miles. Do i need the coolant lines that go to the oil cooler or can i bypass it? It looks like shit and i wana clean up my motor a lil bit. Do i need a oil cooler for a drag car?

Shouldn't be a problem to delete it.

And 94-95 Cobras came with oil coolers.

96-04 cobras had oil coolers too.

I personalty like having an oil cooler. Helps get the oil up to temp and keeps its at an constant temp.

Why relocate it? You can get a fitting so you can delete the long heater tubes. But still keep the sensor in the same location. So no need to cute of spice wires.
