Default Sensor Id

First , I did try several searches, looked and a lot of newbe threads and went thru page after page and never found a thread or link that shows and identifies the various sensors on the top of a 2002 5.3 truck engine with a 4l60 trans? I'm somewhat sure some of these will be eliminated when the harness get redone for install in a older 50's vehicle?
Any help will be appreciated.
Mike

Ok, I got a few pics now.

The first pic is from the front of the engine. What is the tall cylinder sensor?

Now the second pic is the rear of the engine from the drivers side view. On the very top of the intake right behind one of the mounting studs is a square like sensor with a 3 or 4 wire plug. What is it for?
Then, on the drivers side of the intake is a sensor or connector that looks to have two blue connectors. One of those connectors looks to route underneath the intake. Could it be for one of the knock sensors?

In pic #1 that is the EVAP solenoid to vent the gas tank.

In pic #2 the harness that goes under the intake is the knock sensor harness the other sensor that is in the intake is the MAP sensor. Then if you look where the brake booster hose makes the 90* bend, that is the cam sensor and the oil pressure sending unit. The cam sensor is the flat one and the oil pressure is the tall post.
