Oil cooler & Gauges install

Oil cooler & Gauges install
I need to install my oil cooler & oil pressure gauge but I'm a bit unsure of the best way to go about it
I currently have a GReddy oil block adaptor fitted which I've taken the oil tempurature reading from.
I have waiting to be installed an AAM oil pan spacer & a Mocal oil block adaptor.
Heres my problem. I need 2 1/8th NPT ports so that I can run both my oil pressure & oil temp gauges. I also need 2 ports for my oil cooler.
The mocal adaptor is thermostatic & I plan to use that for the oil coller install.
The oil pan spacer has 2 ports for my oil cooler but only 1 1/8th port.
I was planning to buy the GTM oil sender adaptor kit but shipping is more than the product costs to get it to the UK.
So, is it best that I ditch the thermostatic adaptor & fit the oil cooler into the oil pan & use the greddy block adaptor for the gauges?
Or can I run 2 block adaptors?

Doesnt the Greddy block only have 1 male NPT port? Or 2?
Personally, i would rather run the cooler from the thermo sammich plate as opposed to the pan. No real solid reason why i would do this, it just seems to me that the sammich plate would be a better bypass point for the cooler due to the fact that it is at a great flow point to catch the oil at.
I would rather run gauges from the pan spacer.
But, your idea seems like it would work just fine. Cooler from pan, gauges from block adaptor.

I would prefer to run the oil cooler from the thermostatic plate aswell. I might see about getting an extra port tapped into my oil pan spacer so I can run both gauges from there & fit the termo plate

Run pressure of the adapter, then run the temp off your spacer. Really no need for. Pressure gauge unless hour seriously racing your car
