There is a big advantage to adding a full flow oil filter, but the 
advantages of altering the cooling are dubious/debatable. The method 
for adding a filter are detailed in the Bill Fisher book. If you 
REALLY need more cooling (not likely) then the place to add it would 
be in series with the external filter. Keep in mind that overcooling 
your engine is just as hard on it as overheating it.

I would NOT remove the original cooler.
