Funny thing, is that the studs aren't longer where you would have mounted the filter, but I have a line coming up from the pan area (solid line) and and a line coming out of the rear of the engine (oil pressure gauge area)... both are connected on the side of the engine with about 8 inches of rubber line. The line has an older, but professional looking steel wire wrapped around it as connecters on the ends. Can I just remove the steel lines and put plugs in the holes?
