Yes, you just wire it to the PCM. Most swap harnesses are done this way

Default oil pressure signal

While we're talking about harnesses, I have a question! I have a 2004 LS1 from a GTO and I'm re-working the harness, can anyone tell me if the pcm uses the oil pressure for anything other then activating the warning light ? I will remove the pins and just use the original light in the first gen camaro if not needed. Thanks

I don't beleive that the Oil input is really needed for the PCM other than a gauge that doesn't really work well or a idiot light. I don't use the input on my 99 LS1 swap.
