Help with deleting engine oil cooler

I just installed a 454 in my C10 and don't want or need the factory engine oil cooler. Since the adapter looks to have a bypass, can I just plug the holes or should I replace the oil cooler housing with a regular oil filter adapter from GM. Anyone have 1st hand knowledge on the best way to do this? Thanks!
