Default Oil feed location

I have a B16a6 and was planning on putting the oil feed line in the back of the block. My friend told me that i could use a plugged hole on the front passenger side of the block. Is he right? That would make the oil feed line alot shorter not to mention easier to install. The only problem i see is that the hole probably isn't 1/8npt. What do you think should/can i do it?

That plug on the front of the head on the passenger side has no oil pressure going through it at all unless VTEC is engaged. We tested that for a fact with a gauge. It is 100% all about not using that port as an oil feed location. use the spot on the back of the block

Don't overtighten it!!! I split my first fitting and it was a huge mess the first time I started the car.
