I completed installing the cowl baffles around the engine/cylinders today. Also did final fitting of nose wheel fairing after laying up some extra layers of fiberglass cloth in the area where the brackets will be attached - I'll also use flox to perfectly fit the brackets to the fairings.
The remote oil filter has two advantages over standard location: first, it's much easier to change the filter without making a huge mess and second, lower oil temps according to Airwolf (company that makes the remote filter kit) and anecdotal experience as well.
I test fit the snorkel today and having trouble getting it to fit due to interference with the induction tube for the #2 cylinder intake pipe. I'll call the mothership tomorrow for advice on this.
Remote oil filter adapter with vernatherm and oil temp sensor installed:

Baffles in progress:
Can't get snorkel properly fit due to interference with cylinder intake. This is with the air filter frame removed - can't get close to putting it and snorkel together with the frame properly seated.
