Engine swap - replacement engine has an engine oil cooler, original engine did not

My 2010 limited (no towing package) blew a head gasket, I ordered a replacement motor. The replacement motor matched the vin code, however it is a motor with the engine oil cooler (tow package motor I am assuming).  I am having difficulty figuring out where the oil cooling lines run, where does the other end connect.  Would bypassing the cooler be the best route.  All answers are greatly appreciated.

Aren't you talking about the transmission cooler?

@enigma-2, Edge's with the tow package have an engine oil cooler next to the oil filter.  I realize this is a late post, but I would bypass the coolant hookups to the oil cooler.  If you want to run the oil cooler, you need upper and lower radiator hoses, a different fan shroud, and I think 2 more hoses that hook to the cooler.  I'm in the process of going the other way, my original engine had the oil cooler (tow package), and my replacement engine doesn't have it.  I don't tow with the Edge, so I don't need it.  Also the tow package Edge's havea thicker radiator.
