Default For those of you that changed over to the GTO pan...

What did you do about the low oil sensor that is on the fbody pan but isn't on the GTO pan? I'm assuming if the oil is low a light will go off on the dash if not maybe even not allow the engine to run?

Thanks!

Leave it off it wont hurt. Its just for a low oil light. Tie the harness away from the headers and you're set to go.

I agree. The low oil switch isn't necessary.
