Looking good. This may become the general basic installation for many. Tedious perhaps but well worth the effort. Congratulations.

It certainly has to be easier than dealing with the results of running with no oil pressure because you missed looking at the gauge. Those external oil lines to and from the oil cooler are perhaps the weakest part of the oiling circuit design. It probably takes very little time for the engine to pump itself dry if one really bursts. Or some road hazzard cuts into the oil cooler or oil pan. Two gallons of oil at 60 pounds pressure through lines or holes that size might be less than a minute. Plus the oil pump chains are getting pretty old on many of these cars.

I am pretty well certain as time goes by you will further refine it if required. It is an american expression I believe. You are the man.
