This setup looks great. I love the color of the coating. Using OEM ducting for the cooling pack, I assume?

Yes. You'd have to remember to do the "flood clear" on every oil change (good practice anyway) or you'd have two problems. Air in the oil system & a much lower oil level than intended once the air finally purges. There's also potential for air to be trapped if you leave the car sit for an extended period of time (a week or so?) and air = no lube. Dry bearings aren't happy bearings.
I'd recommend changing that setup. I'd also rubber mount the oil cooler, not mount it directly to something that's cantilevered way out there that will vibrate up and down.
I'm not trying to be a jerk about it, just concerned for the well being of OP's car and for his well being too, oiling your own tires from a failed oil cooler is VERY bad.
