I've never done it but I don't believe so. The oil cooler is just mounted on the sump. The oil supply is via pipes if I remember correctly.

2: Are new 'O' rings absolutely, 100% necessary?

If you want to do the job properly: yes!

3: The belt tension appears to be only released from the tensioner, is that straight forward?

I
have done this job and it involves removing the OSF wheel arch liner and the upper engine mounting. It's a bit more than "straightforward" I'd say.

Probably! We all do.
Chuck; before you go any further, has an air conditioning professional attached a gauge set and confirmed that the compressor is responsible? Lack of cooling is often due to disintegrating condenser fins.
