ok swap is all done i did a 01 transam ls1 into my v6 97 camaro

Your probably not getting any action on your question because it has been discussed so many, many time times here on the board... Research will answer any question you have regarding your install, as putting an LS1 in most any vehicle & hooking up the wiring is pretty much the same, no matter what car/truck its going into...with some minor exceptions. The temperature gauge(and oil pressure & fuel level) wire from the LS1 computer is basically just a old fashioned anolog type gauge wire in function, that can connect to your gauges directly. You just need to know what wire coming through your main dash(C-100) connector goes to the temperature gauge, etc. You might have made note of this when you removed the old motor. If you did'nt, you can get the function of each one of these wires, on your car, here, on-line. As far as the temperature sender itself, most of us are installing our previous engines temperature sender at the back of the passenger sides cylinder head, via a metric adapter that can be bought from S & P(Street & Performance). Hope this helps.
