Subject:Re: 86 2.1 oil cooler onto a 83 1.9

I've given this a cursory look, and I can't see how to even fit a filter
in the space left between the exhaust and the cooler let alone how to
plumb it in.

Anyone out there done this with the 1.9 exhaust system on a 2.1?  Both
the plumbing and exhaust are very different on the 2.1, and if there is
a filter that fits what is it and how do you shield the plumbing from
the exhaust heat?  TIA.
