I'm installing a Setrab FP119 oil cooler. I'm going to mount the oil cooler at the back of the car. Do I need to change the oil pump to a larger oil pump (30mm) ? I currently have a Schadek 26mm oil pump.

That's a good pump. You should be fine with it.
If the engine has good oil pressure now, with 3/8" lines you'll be fine (as Gordon already said). Even a 21mm pump produces more pressure than a new engine with close bearing tolerances needs. Al

I have 8AN lines for my full flow system. I was going to use 8AN for the cooler as well.
8AN is perfect for a system that stays in the back of the car. 8AN is 1/2" inside diameter.
3/8" (6AN) is not big enough IMHO for a full flow system.

Brain fart this morning- Danny's right.

It happens. More and more it happens to me. Getting older... it's really meeting my (very, very low) expectations.
