It looks like it is for a old school mechanical clutch . It should go straight through to the flywheel area .

I didnt put anything there when I put my motor back together.
On a seperate note what did you need to run the oil filter w/o the cooler? I'm considering removing mine...

it is, you are correct, it is the exact same adapter, swaping the bolts is all that is needed

What benefit does removing the oil cooler have on the motor?

Dont remember, take the stud to the hardware store and match it up with a hardened automotive bolt. It is a common size.
