The NA didn't come with an oil cooler, so if the swap on your car was incomplete you may not have it. The stock oil cooler mounts on the driver's side (left) right at the end of the stock intercooler.
Braided reinforcement isn't the same as stainless braided hose. Don't confuse the two. Braided fiber reinforced hose is what you use for pressure rated applications it's available with and without external braiding which is used to protect the exterior of the hose. I used oil hose from Aeroquip and no-pinch clamps on the pipe side. The hose was rated for around 200psi and MUCH more heat than the oiling system would ever see (even if it somehow caught fire)... It's made specifically for this application.
