I'm in need of doing the motor mounts, shocks, oil coolers, and oil filter gasket. I'm posting to see if my sequence of attack seems correct(ish).

1. Soak the heck out of the oil cooler line compression nuts.
2. Undo the nuts that attach to the oil filter housing.
3. REmove the filter housing.
4. Replace gasket to block.
5. Replace other gasket on the oil filter (anyone know the name?)
6. Reinstall oil filter housing.
7. Loosen mm/shock screws and jack up engine.
8. remove oil cooler line fastening plate thing.
9. Undo nuts at the oil cooler.
10. Replace lines.

Do I have to mess with the tranny lines?

Am i missing something? should I consider some other things to replace while I'm in there?
