For those of you who have installed a new lycoming engine, drained the preservative oil, and filled the oil sump; how did you go about filling the oil cooler?

Not a big worry, because gravity and syphon action cause the oil cooler to drain every time you shut down the engine.
If you did want to fill it (hypothetically just before first start), you could pull the top oil cooler hose loose and fill the cooler through the hose.
Most folks simply pull the plugs and spin the engine for a few seconds with the starter to bring the oil pressure up.
