    Paul,

     Alt. mount looks fine. What size is the tube/hose from oil pump
outlet to cooler and filter. In the photo it looks to be about dash-6
(3/8in). If so that would be highly restrictive at the rpm's we run
in our a/c. Most are using dash-10 although dash-8 will probably work.
    The oil pump will have extra load and the oil will have extra heat
from extra restriction. IMHO! Jump in here about this Lynn!
