Look above the oil filter. There are 2 10mm bolts holding in a little casting with a part sticking out of it (used for the oil pressure sender on c5s). Drill that out, tap it with an 1/8th npt tap, screw in the fitting and you're done!

No, just your feed. Return requires you to either gravity drain or pump back into the engine. Most either drill a hole in the oil pan or timing chain cover and put a -10 in it. Some using a scavenge pump to pump the oil into the oil fill on the valve cover. I've down it both ways and they both work. Scavenge pump makes the install much easier but it has additional cost and adds another component to fail. If the engine is out, there is not really a good reason not to do a gravity drain.
You can also use the same pump to create a self contained oil system as well. Some rear mount guys do this. If you search through this forum, you'll find more info on oil management than you will ever want to read.
