That will be the oil cooler your talking about to start with,take out the engine with the full sub frame very easy to do a few bolts underneath

Drop if out from underneath is the easier option,if you wish to keep the cooler its entierly upto yourself,i would if i was you if not you`ll need a sandwich plate without the cooler,wiring side if things there should be a big red wire which goes to + on the battery which normally runs by the fuel relay.

you dont need a sandwhich plate without cooler attachments. you can use the short oil filter spiggot that 8v's cam with. about a quid from vauxhall. just screws into oil pump then wind filter up and jobs a goodun.

You dont need the oil cooler. To save the hassle of messing about mounting it id just get the part Nic said.

all that was on this car is the radiator, and the a/c rad..my dad said that i would have to take the a/c and power steering pumps of the engine which will leave me with 2 pulleys, is this correct? what do i do about a belt? plus unless these are taken of theres nowhere for an engine mount on the front the mount on the original calbra was under the pulleys?
