What I used with my setup which is a Canton 90 degree rotating bypass and Canton oil filter adapter.

2 straight AN 10s out of the block plate coupled with AN 10 to 5/8 into the block plate. 4 pieces total

2 45 degree AN 10 swivels going to the adapter (you may need 90s) coupled to 2 AN 10 to 5/8 NPT. You have to get the swivel adapter into the NPT threads of the adapter so you will use 4 pieces here as well.

2 swivel 90 fitting to the oil cooler. My oil cooler was already set up for an AN 10, so I didn't need an NPT adapter here.

Total of 10 fittings. Buy the hose from Jegs, Russell, Earls, etc. DO NOT USE ANY CHEAP HOSE HERE OR YOU WILL BE DOING IT AGAIN!!

Now this is how I did mine and I can't think of an easier way, by the end of the process I could make a complete hose in about 1 minute.
I used the Russell assembly lube and anti seize for the AN ends of the fittings and teflon for the NPT ends. The lube makes a tough job very easy. For cutting the #10 hose I used the large bolt cutters from Home-Depot (workforce yellow handle $14.95). Use masking tape, and wrap the area tightly so that you will have about an inch of tape on each side after the cut. Use the cutters, which will go through the #10 in one swift snap. After putting the lube on the #10 ends and hose just assemble.
As mentioned earlier it might be a good idea to buy an wrenches. For the # 10you will nee regular size wrenches of 15/16 , 1in, an 1 1/8 in. I found the Jegs fittings to be the easiest to work with.
