Angry Broken sensor behind intake

Hey guys I think i might have broke off a sensor or something behind my intake on the drivers side. Looks like it goes into the head anyone know what this is so I can get it replaced asap so i can get my damn car running again. Also the crossover lines that run from the valve covers to the front of the intake is in very bad shape the lines are broken in places and they junction behind the manifold there is a big hole in the insulation. Is there anyway I can replace this without having to try and find a PN# and get one from the dealer if I still could. It appears to be just a crossover of some kind it doesn't look like it does anything. My main concern right now is that sensor that is broken off I just hope I can get it out of the block. Does anyone know what this sensor is called. Thanks

Now I don't feel so bad, I just broke mine this afternoon pulling off the LS1 intake to put on an LS6. Looks like I am going to have to buy the socket and sensor tommorow! Thanks. Good luck!
