Don't have the answer but I found it was much easier to measure the part, bolt, etc that I was actually using with a thread guage and a dial caliper.You would be in a hell of fix if someone gave you the wrong information.Personally I wouldn't relocate the oil pressure sensor but would make an extension to ease installation.

I am using the GM LS1 based truck oil cooler adapter for an oil cooler project. This adapter mounts to where the C5 stock oil temp sensor mounting spot is. I am going to drill and tap threads into the truck adapter so that I can still have the oil temp reading.

Pull it out and measure it, you can change filters without losing any oil except what is in the filter so I would assume you could remove the sensor with no loss of oil. No . I didn't go out and look, its dark out.If I'm wrong it won't be the 1st time, nor will it be the last....
