Why would you take it off

Re: lt1 oil cooler delete
 

It's not going to hurt anything, especially if you use synthetic oil.

I want to take it off because it doesnt sit right at the block and leaks like crazy even with new gasket and tightening it down and plus im planning on getting long tube headers and been reading you need to remove it for clearence

And do i need to use a longer oil filter? If so do you guys have some part numbers for them?

Re: lt1 oil cooler delete
 

No, you don't need a longer filter. You can use one if you like, but if you are after more clearance, you might not want one.
