Isn't this the same stuff in the SZ and 164QV? I threw the one in the 164QV away

. Well I still have it, if I look hard enough.
The way I look at it, the oil isn't getting enough cooling, and the car is always running hot, why bother exchanging heat? The car needs an oil cooler.
And sure enough, oil coolers were standard on 155 V6s, 156 V6s (even comes with that heat exchanger), and all other V6 24Vs. Instead of getting a heat exchanger I would just get an oil cooler, as even Alfa though the standard cars needed oil cooling, what more with your turbine cooking the oil.
I guess if your radiator has no problem handling the current amount of heat your engine puts out, then adding the heat exchanger makes sense. But the plumbing for an oil cooler could be more straightforward.
