The pressure will not be the same!  Why do you think the use two different
sender switches?  Pressure will be higher on the pump side, lower on the
case side.  I think the case pressure is more valuable.  Think of it as the
pressure at the end of the line.

       YES !  Install the new sender in the "between the cylinders"
location.
 Way easier but still a PITA.  Gota remove that pan which is attached to
the
exhaust flange studs.  Ha !  Good Luck !  I remove the OEM sender, install
a
short pipe and T fitting that will accept the OEM sender and the new
sender.
The pan will touch the senders so you should bend the pan so it will not
touch.
