Why?

After you get rid of the side mounts you end up with the perfect location for your auxiliary Oil Cooler.

Well - you could run the oil cooler in the middle - but then....>
Your just blowing the heat you went to a lot of trouble to isolate from the cooling system right back into it through the radiator...
Many Years ago a UK guy tried and had some high speed heat issues...He relocated it to the side and everyone since has as well (except for Gil and Rafft I believe)
No soup for you!
