When considering your oil system capacity keep in mind how much oil is in the lines to and from a remote mounted filter. On mine there is about 3/4 quart of oil.

My first choice on any Pontiac with headers is to get rid of the factory filter housing and tapping the block for NPT fittings, and hide an eternal filter. The problem though is when it is an after thought, and you realize the stock filter won’t fit. The engine is installed, and it is really too late to tap NPT lines into the block. The small filter I think is the next best option to that. If a filter adapter is used for a remote filter kit, often the fittings and lines get positioned pretty close to the headers, it creates more issues than it solves.
