Wow, what a hose job.

I finally retrieved my sonett. It made it back the 300+ miles so thanks to those who offered survival parts lists.
What sent me for the biggest loop was the 8" x 20" radiator sitting (yes 2 hoses only, gravity placed) on top of the engine. I was expecting a tight mess under the hatch because of the factory air, but this seemed really odd. Soon found out why it merely sits there as you have to flip it over towards the windshield to check the oil. Oil!!! Then the oil filter screamed its unique placement just above the transaxle. Damn if it don't have a oil cooler. Which also explained the "Hood Scope" I now have.
****So is this a whacked placement for an oil cooler or was/is this common practice? Anyone out there with an oil cooler have a reasonable placement? I've got hoses all over the place and I need to make my life a little easier.
thanks
