Yep....the crossover pipe for the SSI conversion does lead over to the passenger side @ about mid oil cooler lever, then gets bolted to the sheet metal. Unfortunately, the flexible line that connects to this is the rearward line on the external thermostat....so to get to this line, the frontward line needs to come off the thermostat as well if you dont want to drop the whole external oil line/trombone assy from the car. Mine lines need to come out prior to break-in as there is still synthetic oil in them.
I have the special wrenches if you need to borrow......a large cresent will work also.
Soaking the fittings w/ PB Blaster will help. Soaked mine for a few days, they came off like butter.
