I've thought one of the two spots (either the upper or the lower) on the timing cover would also be a good idea (just have to use a 90° elbow so it won't interfere with the Belt)

Carl, thanks for the pic!
I've thought that I tap into the the timing cover so that would spare me the hassle to remove the oil pan, 'cause I heard that it's kinda tricky to align the oil pan properly during installation, but since I want to replace the oil pump with a high volume pump I have to remove the pan anyways....

dave: that looks very nice but you're not running any accessories so you don't have to worry about any belt, I'm goin' to put a cog belt behind the accessory belt to drive the Supercharger so it's gonna be even more tight then it usually is...

here are the pics how I finally did it, I decided to weld on that bung since the timing cover is not very thick and you can easily strip the threads in that thin aluminum:

Front of oil pan I put mine right on the front of my ugly CTS-C oil pan. Wow it needs polished. We welded some aluminum discs on so our pipe threads would have a little more meat to thread into. I think it's a 3/4" NPT with a 1/2" inside diameter. I wanted to go into the front cover but the crank pulley would not allow me to get a good drain angle.
