Wannagofast,
You will probably have to find those barbed fittings at a Hose specialty store, However, If you can give the specialty hose fitting store the size of fittings, they could make make a solid connection for you. Took me several trips to that store as "My mind would not make it self up as to the connections I wanted " Well it was confusing to me
And, I eventually reinstalled the oil cooler lines and connected them temporarily with a hose fitting the Hose store made. To answer your question, instead of connecting the lines into the radiator you can run them into an aux. cooler. I plan to do this when I get my car back, although I read where it may not be necessary. Also, those stock oil cooler lines may not be long enough, for an aux. cooler location, so I plan to have that Hose Store make the lines. They can make AC lines also. Looks like a factory piece.
Good luck
