I'm kinda late for this party but I ran a remote filter on my '37 w/302 for years. I used the oil resistant hoses w/clamps, etc. It didn't leak except one time when I blew a hose . Fortunately, it all happened near an Autozone so I coasted into their parking lot and bought the necessary stuff for a quick repair and continued on my way.

On my rebuild, I wanted to consider other options for the filter. The only shorty filter that is short enough to clear my R&P steering setup while still allowing room to put it on and take it off is the Volvo filter. I'm going to try it for a while (if I ever get the car done enough to fire it up!) and if I don't like it, I'll have some custom hoses made for the remote setup and put it back on.

Ok, now after 2 paragraphs of not saying much of anything, I feel kinda like how Roger described himself.....(using 50 words where only 10 are necessary) but at least I now get updates on yet another thread that interests me....
