Some people are just using there stock LS1 coolant pipe and just grinding down the ribs in the bottom of the LS6 intake for clearance.
Reason ???.. better distribution of the steam/coolant from/to the back number 7 cyl. seem to be the most common reason.
As you can see you from the kit, you only get the front pipe and are supose to plug the rear ports.

The under side of the LS6 has cross ribs... line up your LS1 coolant pipe and grind down the ribs that will cause the Intake to now lower enough to seat the manifold correctly. Just grind the ribs to almost to the base only, no farther.
Do a seach on LS6 intake swap and there will be a lot of post with info on the swap. I remember one of the post had a picture. but i can't recall or find it right now.
good luck.

Possibly pinched harness,broken, or un-connected oil pressure sensor. If your not careful, it's very easy to break off.
It's the small black cylinder just behind the intake. When removing the manifold the brake booster line can hook around it. If you pull and don't know, the sensor will crack at the base.

Oil pump is in the front and mechanically driven off the crank. You still have oil pressure, just cant read it due to the broken sender. Driving for a few days shouldn't be an issue.
Just be sure you don't have any oil leaks around the base of the sender. You shouldn't, but better to check and know.
