If the fittings really won't budge, your worse case bet is to use a dremel or
similar and cut-off wheels to split the nut. If you are careful, you can avoid
nicking the threads on the oil cooler.
I ended up having to split the nut in two places on an aluminum cooler in a 99.

Probably not, as you have a fitting that is brazed to the oil cooler.
Compromise the joint between the fitting and oil cooler and you're no better
off than if you goober up the fitting.

Per Rusty's site I need the older, NLA version of the cooler line. Am I
able to use the newer version and re-route it, or do I just have to hope I
don't break these fittings?
Thanks,

I tried mixing up the recipe using Mobil 1 ATF - it would not mix at all
with the acetone. Does any other ATF mix with acetone?

I used M1 ATF actually, because it's what I had on hand. I doubt it
matters much for this use. It didn't really mix but sort of went into
suspension like oil/vinegar salad dressing. Eventually the ATF would
settle out again, but as the acteone evaporates pretty quickly anyway I
don't try to

As usual, you all are right on the money. Lower oil cooler hose has a leak
in one of the seams. Even after sitting and not running the engine, when I
wiped down the hoses there is obvious oil weeping along that seam.
Now to source new and be on my way. Looks easy to do, one nut on the
filter
Yes, change both hoses. Unfortunately, too often the oil cooler threads are
damaged when the hoses are removed, so be as careful as you can, but don't be
surprised if you need to replace the oil cooler.
Research the repair, there are tips and tricks to maximize the odds of success.
Very glad
Now to source new and be on my way. Looks easy to do, one nut on the
filter and one on the oil radiator... But since I couldn't get either to
budge I will try to add some anti sieze as someone suggested.
I assume wisdom says do both at the same time?
Yes, do both. I didn't have much problem
1.) Do both. You're there, the other one is just as old and will fail as well,
etc.
2.) Consider doing the motor mounts while you're in there, as the driver's side
will had ego come off or at least be disconnected to get the hoses out.
3.) If time permits, apply a generous amount of

the fittings at the oil cooler. There are dissimilar metals and tend
to gall when removed, sometimes badly enough that the oil cooler
requires replacement.
