I highly recommend that. It's what I did when I did my engine swap. Once you get the fittings brazed onto the hard lines and drill and tap the cooler for 1/2NPT to -10 AN adapters you can do the hoses yourself. And reuse the fittings if the hoses need to be done again. Plus the stainless braided hose looks killer.

I've had the hoses on and off half a dozen times over the last 75k miles while working on stuff where a little extra clearance helps.

...if it's good enough for airplanes, it's good enough for our cars.
