Is it possible to remove it in situ or has the engine to come out?

Is it possible to remove it in situ or has the engine to come out?Yes - cavet: as long as the fasteners want to loosen.... The fastener that bolts on to the cooler itself doesn't have a hex head fitting, so you're at the liberty of the cooler itself on whether the fastener for the hose will loosen. The other fastener is just below/behind the front clip. I have not yet had success in removing mine as part of the tranny swap I'm in the midst of, so plan to merely bungee it to the front of the engine as I remove the hulk. Further, remember the cooler also has tranny lines on the drivers side which also can be a bear to loosen. You can then unfasten it from the brackets that mount it in front of the rads.

Are you taking about the front Oil Cooler or the small water/oil cooler on the right side of the engine (Brittle plastic pipe)?

Also if one of these parts fails is this the proper time to install the bufkin pipe http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/261324657410?lpid=82&item=261324657410&lgeo=1&vectorid=229466 ?

The 'Bufkin' pipe is sandwiched in between the integral oil cooler that is on the passenger side of the 4.2 engines. It has nothing to do with the front mount condensers.
