Default 2nd Oil Drain Plug?

I'm changing the oil and everyone i've seen says there are two plugs. I drained everything out of the first one on the bottom of the pan, then loosened what i thought was the second plug, on the driver's side with a wire going to it, but just a couple drops came out of it. Is that it? Cause i can't seem to find any other plugs.

The thing with the wire going to it is the low oil sensor.

Nice car, OP. I had forgotten that the '86 had two drain plugs. Mine's been gone for 24 yrs. Thanks for the memory!
