Oil filter sandwich plate adapter oil line routing
I looked around and decided on an oil filter sandwich plate for my oil feed and eventual oil pressure/temp gauges. I have a '99 nb.
I understand that when people source the feed from the stock pressure sender they route around the back of the engine. Can you route around the front of the engine with a feed line off of of the filter?
My oil fitting on the compressor is about parallel with the engine hoist bolt, so routing the oil around the font would mean a lot shorter line.
Any experiences? I searched but didn't really come up with much.

You can route the oil line however you choose to. Going around the back is largely a cosmetic decision, though of course there are also fewer obstacles on that side (belts, intake piping, radiator hose, etc.)
