Correct. You can also use any engine oil cooler of your choice. The oil cooler included with the kit is for cooling the Rotrex Traction Fluid for the supercharger (it's cooling system is 100% independent of the engine, and doesn't dump heat into the engine oil or engine coolant, unlike some other systems).

To clarify, a Perrin engine oil cooler kit as-is will not be compatible without modification and a new sandwich plate from JR, correct? Or could the fittings possibly be pointed to clear and require no modification?

Correct, it is mounted in the center behind the intercooler. However, you are able to mount it offset, so that you can have two side-by-side oil coolers, one for the Rotrex supercharger, and one for the engine oil. The system is designed to be useable by both casual street cars, and full-on track cars.
I don't see why you'd need a new sandwich plate unless the orientation of the fittings is incompatible. YOu'll probably need new lines to route properly. Unfortunately, we have no test mule with a Perrin cooler that also has the Jackson Racing supercharger kit, so we can't confirm or deny at this time.
