Dick: I've got the oil cooler on my coupe. It was baffled for air flow. I think this the same place the filter is mounted. However, I've always looked at this as robbing Peter to pay Paul: What is used to cool oil is taking from the cylinders. So what I did, here comes a big debate, is transfer the cabin hot air intake to the oil cooling. I don't need heat in the summer for the cabin and the air does nothing more that cool the muffler. By winter I hope to have the cooler sealed to have the air pass over the cooler, over the muffler and then into the cabin. Or I guess, not that I would do it, one could use the oil cooler as a radiator for the cabin heat. This would help prevent those nasty gases from coming inside. I also used some of the air to pressurize and cool my mags. You may want to look at a Tomahawk. Some or maybe all of them have a cooling system on the oil filter, similar to what you are looking at.
