Yes you can. Just take the lines off where they hook into the oil filter adapter just above the oil filter and screew the oil line fittings out of the housing. Then take one of those fittings to the hardware store and tell them that you need two pipe plugs that size and some plumbers tape.
Go home and rap some tape around the new plugs and screew them into the housing where the lines were hooked up at, and make sure they are tight.
That is all you have to do. Just unhook them from the radiator and remove them if you want. You don't have to do anything to the radiator.

1992 delta 88 royal 3.8v6 you need to buy a radiator how do you tell if your radiator has a engine oil cooler on it so you can get the right radiator?
radiators are used as transmission coolers (typically) and only on automatic transmissions. you will have two metal oil cooler lines that go from the trans to one of the side tanks of the radiator. if you indeed have an engine oil cooler (on newer cars and trucks) you will have an add'tl two lines that go from the engine block (usually at a oil filter adapter housing) to the other radiator tank. if you have a standard trans and still have cooler lines going to the radiator its for engine oil. some but not many vehicles use the engine oil cooler as a total separate cooler usually mounted in various locations around the radiator and it will be smaller.
How does water get into oil on a 5.7 Chevy engine?
intake gasket , head gasket, crack in block .one of the 3 Also check to see if your engine has an oil cooler with lines that run into the radiator. If so then a hairline crack can develop in the oil cooler inside your radiator and leak water into your oil via the cooler lines at the oil filter. I have a C2500 with heavy duty options and this seems to be one of them. Good Luck.

1990 Chevy k1500 with a 350 the oil cooler line is leaking at the filter housing Is it possible to just plug these lines as i don't do any heavy towing and what size plugs?
no i would not recommend that. look closely. that is an adapter that the oil lines come out of. you should be able to remove the adapter and purchase one that does not have the oil cooler lines. dont know where you would get it but there should be one out there somewhere.
What is the best way to change oil cooler lines on a 1988 GMC S15 Jimmy with a 4.3L V6?
I have changed these lines on both my 1997 S10 Blazer & a 2000 S15 Jimmy. Raise vehicle on jackstands. Then place a piece of wood on jack, move jack under oilpan, and jack up the engine 1 - 2 inches. This will give you the clearance you need to be able to pull the oil lines off of the engine block. You won't be able to pull the lines through if you don't do this, because of the fitting on the end of the hoses is too big. A vareity of rachet extensions will enable you to reach the bolts (two) on the engine block (reach from in front of the cross member to the rear). The lines between the remote oil filter & radiator ( cooler) are much easier to get to.

How do you remove the engine oil cooler adapter from a 91 350 and reinstall filter without adapter?
I assume you are working on a 350 Chevrolet small block with the factory GM oil to water cooler in the radiator? Why remove the oil cooler? With the engine cold, remove the oil filter from the adapter. Remove the lines from the remote cooler adaptor first. Then look up into the cavity (above where the oil filter screws on) and you will see two bolts. Remove these two bolts and the adaptor will come off. Obtain a regular GM (Chevrolet small block) oil filter adaptor from any non-oil cooler application with the bolts. There are a million places to get these. Bolt the new adaptor in place, screw on a new oil filter and off you go. The factory filter seals against the flat surface of the engine block and the filter now screws onto the oil filter adaptor instead of the cooler adaptor. You may want to remove the oil lines to the radiator and plug the oil cooler openings in the radiator. If the oil cooler is already or begins to leak you will loose coolant through the cooler openings. mlynch003@yahoo.com
