I think the passageways of the a/c condensor would be too small to carry oil through at a high enough volume to be useful. It seems like it would create a very high pressure (which isn't a horrible thing) but at that high pressure the oil would pass through too quickly to be properly cooled. That's just my guess though.
Normally oil coolers tend to run like -8 or '10AN fittings. The fittings for the a/c would be much smaller. But I could easily be wrong, not having looked carefully at the SVX condensor.
Though why try to re-invent the wheel when an effective alternative already exists?
