question on installing new fan switch
I bought a 190 degree fan switch for my 84 corvette and it comes with a new pig tail. Its a dual wire pig tail and according to the instructions using Single fan operation which mine is i only use one of the wires coming out of the fan switch and just cut the other wire off or tie it up and not use it. The other with needs to be spliced into the "appropriate primary relay signal wire" using the T-Tap splice connector. What wire in this fan relay is the primary signal wire i need?

Are you sure your replacement sensor is the right part? If you measure any resistance between either wire and the housing, or between the two wires, you don't have a switch, you have a temp sensing resistor. Your fan relay won't work unless you have a switch, which at room temperature will measure "open circuit".
Your new CTS should connect to the same brown wire as your existing switch, (which is located on the pass. side head, between plugs 6 & 8). You shouldn't have to run a new wire to the relay.

The new 190 degree fan switch i bought i put in the front of the intake manifold. That relay in the picture is located on the inner fender in front of the brake master cylinder. If the fan switch is located on the passenger side of the engine then what is the coolant sensor on the front of the intake manifold?

HRR explains it very well.
You might post the part number and the source of your switch kit.
