Default Designing oil pressure sender setup

I have been doing a lot lately, collecting a lot of information. I need some guidance here. I am designing my oil pressure system with an original style electronic sender and a mechanical gauge fitting (t-fitting too of course). I have AN line and a 90 degree hose end and a straight hose end as well.

What I am thinking is to attach one end of the hose to the oil pressure extension and run the hose towards the bolt with the machining tag on the front of the engine.
My question is this:
Can I use this bolt to fasten a small metal bracket that holds on to the electric oil pressure sender? I am not sure if this bolt serves a vital role for the head or anyting.

I was going to mount this on the firewall but then realized it would look a lot better this way. If anyone has other ideas for bracekt attachment points please let me know.

Forgot to add, in the future I will be running a krc pump with borgeson style steering box, so the power steering bracket won't do. You can see how the existing electrical wire hit the exhaust manifold.

Yes.
Those are just mounting bosses and don't go into the water jacket, oil galleries, etc.

However, the P/S pump may need that bolt hole to mount up.
