It takes a lot more room than we think. I had to play around for a while with my remote filter to find a place that would allow for enough room to remove the filter. If you do go with a remote, do not use any 90 degree fittings in the oil lines, they reduce oil flow a lot and may contribute to high oil pressure. Use 45 degree or straight fittings.

I second what Jim wrote. IF you go with a remote oil filter don't use anything smaller than -10AN and avoid 90° fittings if at all possible to avoid restriction and pressure drop. If you need to use 90° fittings you may consider going to -12AN. So-called 'full-flow' fittings are available, and may be worth looking for.
