Default Oil feed and return lines??

I Got my kb turbo kit and im getting ready to install it.
what im needing to know is my truck has the factory oil cooler so where can i tap into to get oil? I have seen the trick plate but im looking for something I can do without having to order any more parts.
also where do i tap the pan at for the return line?
pics would be great thanks guys.

I tapped mine right into the stock aluminum block that the cooler lines come out of. I took it off drilled and tapped it 1/8" pipe and put my fitting in. this way i could keep the stock oil cooler. For the return i drilled and tapped the front of the pan right below the crank and put my fitting in, no leaks yet.

Thats where mine is under the started. I tapped the oil cooler block. But trick performance offers a nice bolt on piece that goes im between the engine block and cooler lines. I would just buy it.

When am I going to have to start worrying about another turbo'd truck in Norman?
I'm not sure how the oil cooler guys do their feed lines but trick's piece looks simple and I wouldn't worry about it leaking oil. Here is where I ran my drain line.
