And another to the list....

The NAPA 1045 (WIX part # 51045 ) which is a popular smaller filter.

This is what I run in pontiacs with headers, even with the factory the oil bypass blocked, I have never seen a psi loss from the filtering.

Personally I run a remote filter set up because I have custom built headers on my F-body for additional ground clearance. It is hidden from view under the front fender.
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.

There is always the OHC 6
Filter is on the opposite side as the headers.
