Default No place for low oil sensor on new pan???

There is no hole to screw the low oil sensor into the 351W swap oil pan?

Gonna get a CEL?

CEL only comes on for emissions relate stuff.

You may want to see if there is a plug on the oil filter adaptor/pump to place the oil sending button/sensor. You don't want to cut into the pan unless you have to.

Well your low oil light is going to come on. Just weld a bung in your new pan for it.

You will have to remove the pan to install the oil level sensor.
Too risky to work with it installed, as the last thing you want is some random bits of metal inside the pan.

You could just leave it off?
