You will need to add oil to compensate for the extra capacity of an oil cooler and filter on your 1994 Chevy K1500. These components will retain some oil when the engine is not running, much like your current oil filter, but it will not be to their full capacity.
The remote oil filter can be mounted anywhere in the engine compartment. view full answer...

An engine oil cooler with fan, like # D15450, has a 10 foot OEM spec hose. Provided that you are within the range of the hose you should not see any significant change in oil pressure or flow when using this kit. Because this system has its own fan, it can be mounted anywhere that you have space in the engine compartment. view full answer...
Without knowing exactly what oil cooler you bought it's hard to say for certain if the sandwich adapter you have operates like you described, but I can say that the norm is that once the oil reaches 180 degrees the adapter allows all of the oil to pass through it and on to the engine cooler. view full answer...
On the Derale Plate-Fin Engine Oil Cooler # D15451, the inlet and outlet are marked on the spin on adapter that installs directly onto the engine in the original oil filter location. I have included a photo showing the markings on the spin on adapter for your reference.

The Derale cooler part # D13503 is a great choice for your 1997 Chevy K1500. You would only need one of the part # D13018 fitting adapter as it comes with two sides. One to use on the radiator to get the line to the transmission cooler and then the other one to attach back to the disconnected transmission cooler line that was removed.

Transmission and engine oil cooler # D15902 would be a great fit for your 2001 Dodge Ram 1500, towing your 24 foot camper.
As far as the cooler installation in relation to your AC condenser, it really depends on how much room you have. You would need to measure, once received, to determine where you are able to mount the unit. It is, of course, best to install the cooler in front of the condenser, because it would function at full efficiency, but it would still be effective if installed... view full answer...
Cooling the oil might have a small effect on the overall temperature of the engine as a whole, but it will not be very much. If the truck is running hot, there could be a problem with the thermostat. If that checks out, you may need to add additional fans for more airflow. I have included a link to our fan main page and some FAQ articles for you to view.
But, that is not to say that adding an engine oil cooler is not necessary or is a bad idea. I think it will help to extend the life of... view full answer...

The best way to determine which line on a transmission cooler is the return line from the radiator is to use the following procedure:
1. Start engine while engine is cold
2. Place transmission shift lever in drive for no more than 10 seconds.
3. Stop engine and remove keys

Engine oil coolers are not brand- or model-specific; you can install an oil cooler as large as the space you have available to mount one, which is generally in front of the radiator and/or air-conditioning condenser on vehicles so equipped. With coolers, larger is better. This particular kit is intended for vehicles with an engine block oil filter landing between 2-3/4 inches and 3-1/2 inches. If your vehicle oil filter landing falls outside this range you will need to select an alternate... view full answer...
When you install this onto your 2001 Toyota Tundra you will screw the adapter from this kit onto where your factory oil filter installs and then use the included mount to relocate the oil filter somewhere else.
When picking out a place to relocate the oil filter to you will need to find a location out of the way of moving parts that the filter might interfere with, or areas that have excessive heat.
I attached an FAQ article on engine oil coolers for you to check out also. view full answer...

Yes. According to the installation instructions, you need to use the included thread sealant tape to install the two 3/8” NPT x 1/2” hose barbs into the sandwich adapter of the Derale Engine Oil Cooler # D15602.
