Simon,
I came very close to destroying a newly rebuilt engine many, many years ago
when the brand new oil cooler split at a seam and slowly leaked all the oil
onto the highway.
I stopped as the oil pressure dropped to zero because I could smell oil..
If you don't need cooler I would suggest that the added risks of problems
should be a large consideration.
