Yup will do. A lot of the stuff like this are mainly there to reduce emissions and or help in very extreme and rare conditions. One such thing would be the factory warmers on the throttle bodies. Radiator coolant circulates around the TB's to prevent the butterfly plates from freezing stuck due to very cold air blowing in. With F/I, you can pretty much forget about it, and with N/A, since when does the IAT's reach anywhere near that? Hell I wish it did lol.
The TB warmers is something else I might also delete. Although i'm not too worried about that yet, not to mention it will be more involved and will probably require some custom cutting and welding. The oil cooler however is nothing more than swapping a couple parts

Yes. which reminds me I gotta buy a couple more parts from the dealer and find some time to install this.

Install is gonna be a b!tch though. You gotta flush the engine oil, coolant and remove the driver's side header. Possibly even remove the accessory belt.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but if you don't want to go though buying new parts and welding, I just did this over the weekend using less than $10. I used about 4 feet of 5/8" heater hose, 2 hose clamps, and less than 1 gallon of antifreeze (I just used distilled water cause I needed a coolant flush anyway). Just connect the hose from where the ports of the coolant come out. I also used a zip tie and secured the hose to the front sway bar.

When refilling the lost coolant, just remember to use the coolant bleeder screw so there isn't any air in the coolant. Total time was about about 30 minutes to an hour. Also, using a hose removal tool also makes this job really easy.
