There are probably some people out there who have installed the AC. The
finned oil pan and valve covers provide additional sq in of cooling area
and can lower the oil temp. I think I have heard 20 degrees or so . Also
make sure your oil cooler is the better type for cooling, and switch to a
synthetic oil, preferably a heavier weight that will survive the higher
temps without breaking down.
