ok, what did I break?

Attempting an LS6 intake swap on my 99 z28, which was going fine bar getting the 4 rear bolts out ARRRGGH!! Especially the one near the trans dipstick.

Anyhow something (brake servo vacuum line maybe) seems to have got caught when removing the manifold and I've bust something.

Is it maybe an oil pressure switch/sender? If so does anyone know the part the number, if it's not - what is it?

Anyone got any ideas how to get the rest of it out?

I just did the same thing installing my intake after doing the head gasket, and ls6 pcv conversion. I picked up the sensor while I was at work today.

it will mostly break again...buy the oil pressure sending unit socket* and use it to secure it in place and protect it while reinstalling the intake. use zip ties or any rubber to hold the rear bolts if you are working alone it will make it easier.and take your time.
