If your talking about the two prong switch with two shiny prongs on it, thats a oil pressure sending unit. the bell shaped switch on the right is an oil pressure switch. If the two prong sensor broke off you might squirt oil if you turn engine over or start it up.

If your talking about the brass 90 degree elbow that both of those attach to, it screws in the block at the back, into a oil gallery to gauge pressure.
You can either get it out with an easyout kinda tool (USE CAUTION NOT TO LEAVE ANYTHING IN THE BLOCK AS THAT IS SCREWED INTO AN OIL GALLERY AND DEBRIS MIGHT MAKE ITS WAY TO LIFTER OR BEARING) or if you are going to rebuild the engine have the machine shop take it out.
