Do the relocate, do not hack up the cowl. Skip the gauge. Not really needed under the hood.

Unless one likes to see the REAL oil pressure from under the hood.

I did the relocation and the gauge, and there is a difference in oil pressure reading from the cluster to the gauge under the hood.
its nice to have an accurate reading as a backup

I piece my kit together using parts ordered from Summit Racing along with a Michigan MotorSports extension harness.

The kit on Amazon is over $100, you can make one without a gauge for less than $50 with far better components.

Here's the Buick model, some ideas for a remote sensor setup, and some parts sources. Note that the Buick sensor has a different thread pattern than the Chevy sensor.

The thread in the engine block is 16mm x 1.5. The fitting for the block in the chart below, converts to -8 AN to connect from there on.

Ps. Aeroquip are excellent and often cost less.
