You may want to drill and tap the hole in the block that is missing while you have it all apart cause you are going to need it when you install the procharger. As said above the oil sending unit is in the wrong location

There is a boss in the block on the front right above where the oil sending unit is installed in your pic that is not drilled/tapped, on an iron block that is where one of the bolts for the procharger brackets bolts up.

The hole where you have the oil pressure sending unit is for a fact supposed to have a plug in it. The oil sending unit goes on the top of the block behind the intake.
