If it's the LS1/LS6 intake, the tree and map sensor is all in one, just a plug that goes into the back of the intake. You'll need to remove the intake to get to it.

I have a spare intake I'm using, just wondering how it actually comes off? Just pull it out?

I don't think it comes out. I had an intake the ups dropped and everything broke out with part of the intake. Didn't look like it popped out.

are you talking about the oil pressure sender or something... I don't see how a socket would help with this?
