1957 Fleetwood oil filter drivers side!

I am pretty sure my missing oil filter should be on the drivers side due to the A C unit on the passengers side.

There is a bracket there and a couple of abandoned tubing connections.  The bracket has two bolt holes one above the other about 2 1/2 inches apart and I am assuming that is the mounting bracket for the oil filter?

Where can I find a correct oil filter canister and where are the connections on the engine for the oil lines located on the engine?

Basically there are two tubes coming from the block that are probably for the oil filter. One is from the front of the valley and I am assuming the oil pump is directly below that one and one is lower on the block and I am assuming that is the return to the block for the cleaned oil?
