This is a basic continuation of this thread, with some more pictures. Read the whole thread before starting. One thing I would recommend is to drop the lower I/C radiator so you can access the 13mm bolt holding the lines to the adapter that's screwed into the block. You may be able to get the lower lines out without having to cut them like I did.
Another tip is to remove the drivers side wheel and fender well to get access to the lines. This will help when it comes time to sawzall the lines if you choose to do it that way.
1) Here's the adapter you need. Make sure you clean it well if you're using a used one. Short side goes into the block.
2) The remote filter and lines are all held on by 13mm bolts:
3) I believe the lines going into the radiator are 13/16", but I can't remember for sure.
4) The lines going to the remote adapter run under the block and are attached with another 13mm bolt. Kinda hard to see here:
5) I cut an old milk jug and put it under the filter when removing it. This is one pain in the ass I won't miss while changing oil. Getting used oil all over the inner fender well.
6) Here's the adapter after removing the lines and the filter.
7) There's a 15mm bolt holding the bracket inside the fender well. Remove that bolt and remove the mounting bracket.
8) At this point, I recommend using a very long extension and trying to remove the 13mm bolt holding the lines to the adapter on the block. If you don't, proceed as follows. Remove the bolts holding the adapter to the block:
9) There isn't enough room to pull the adapter out due to the transmission, front diff, and block.
10) I slid the sawzall into the fender opening
11) Cut one of the lines and it allows everything to bend enough to pull out. I had already cut the other end of the lines as close to the block as possible
12) Pull out the adapter and lines
13) Just a little dirty
14) There was some gasket material left on the block side. Sorry for the crappy picture
15) Clean it off as best as possible
16) Put in the adapter. Make sure to use some blue Loctite. I torqued it to 35 lb ft.
17) Need to do some maneuvering to get the filter on
18) I used an AC Delco PF47
19) You can either plug the fittings in the radiator or clean them out with carb cleaner. There should be no need to fill them.
