Default Sensor count and locations

I'm looking at picking up a 98 ls1 with 92k for a project. I'm not familiar with the engine, the guy says he reused the oilpan, tb, and sensors in his 6.0 swap, so it does not come with them. How many sensors are there, and where are they, and do htey have names? I'd like to get an idea of how much they are and where they are before I buy the engine so I can get an idea of over-all cost. I've searched around, but haven't found something that explains it to someone who isn't familiar with the engine.

Thanks.

Jay

Perfect, thanks. It's for a porsche swap, so I'm not sure what all applies.

oil pressure, right beside cam sensor - Need - $40
crank sensor, behind and above starter - Need - $15
oil level sensor, in oil pan - Replacing oil pan with custom one, not sure how that's going to work
idle air control, in throttle body - New tb
throttle position sensor, in throttle body - new tb
air intake temp sensor, in air intake lid - Part of hte intake build
mass air flow sensor, in duct leading to throttle body - Part of the intake build
coolant temp sensor, in drivers side head above exhaust manifold - $20
map sensor, mounted on nipple on back of intake - $20
