When I installed a FC FMOC in my 83, I mounted it to the round bar that runs across the front of the car, a few inches ahead of the radiator/AC condensor. This moves it up a bit higher, and better allows for airflow over the cooler. It also allowed for the AC to remain intact, a somewhat important feature in this part of the country.
Due to my chosen location, I did have to make custom oil lines.
I would, however, like to see a pic of the cutting required to locate the FC cooler in the SE mounting location. My SE has a leak at the oil cooler, and I haven't got around to checking whether it is from the cooler, an oil line, or just one of the crush washers. If it turns out to be the cooler itself, I may swap to an FC unit, if it can be located in the stock location easily. My car has been converted to an e-fan, mounted in front of the radiator. The location I used for the 83 *may* actually prove to be a better location, for this application, though.
