I understand that the extra oil in the lines will be heavy but the pressure drop would be a tradeoff that I wouldn't want to make.

Due to the lengthe of the lines and volume of the two coolers I reduced my oil lines to AN8 (I think stock they were 10?) Now, before I close everything up I'm having second guessing. My total line length will be around 12'. I had planned on running the lines to one oil cooler, then the other, then back to the motor. Any comments?

Bob,
I think you should have made the lines larger to help lower presure drop in the long lines.  I understand that the extra oil in the lines will be heavy but the pressure drop would be a tradeoff that I wouldn't want to make.
