Default no crank shaft timing sensor

I just got a 96 lt1 engine, & it did not come with a crank shaft timing sensor. Its supposed to be on the crank shaft timing cover on the front bottom right passenger side, but its not there. There not even a place to put it nor a whole where it should have been. Has anyone else come across a problem like this?

Here is a picture of the three types of LT1 front covers. Which one does yours look like?

It doesn't have a cover like this one added to it, does it?

Yep, It's most likely a '94 - '95 motor as the OBD1 car did not use a
crank sensor. The '96 up LT1s used it for misfire detection only.
Knock sensors are also different although they look alike.

How would I connect the computer to the crank shaft timing sensor so the check engine light don't register?
