As far as plugging it you could look for a 16mm x 1.5 plug or use an adapter to get to 1/8" pipe thread and then use a 1/8" pipe plug.

people have cut the top off the original sending unit leaving just the metal base and tapped what remained with a 1/8 npt tap. it looks better than it sounds, lol and beats buying an adapter.

Do what I did. Take off the bolted-on oilport "thingy" just above the filter, drill and tap to any size to fit your sender unit or capillary tube, attach oilport "thingy" back onto engine. No adaptors or risk of breaking attachment!

Got to pick up a cheap gauge tomorrow to run some test on the motor. Hopefully all is well and the pressure is down.

Not to hijack the thread but where is the oil pressure sending unit located on LS1's? Mine doesnt have one and I just assumed they went in the oil filter thingy, lol.
