Default GTO oil pan/Oil pressure sender

There are three allen head plugs at the rear of the GTO oil pan. I have an Auto Meter electric oil pressure gauge and the sending unit that came with it. Would any of these holes in the rear of the pan work for my oil pressure sender?

Why don't you use the oil pressure sending unit on the back of the motor?

The oil pressure sender output goes to the BCM to control the Dash Gague. So unless your using the wiring harness to the BCM and Gagues.. you may as well use the one on the back of the block. If your sender doesn't have the correct threads, there are adapters, or just take the LSx one and break the plastic off and drill/tap it to your sender as a cheap adapter.. (it's what I do).
