The locations are the same as the electronic ones.

The oil sensor sender is located in the lower left side of the engine.

It also gives the run signal to turn on the fuel pump so you’ll have to circumvent it if you haven’t done so.

The location of the water temperature sensor varies depending on type of engine however it’s on the left.

You can probably route the tubes thru one of the grommets used for the wiring harness.

If People Drove Any Slower They’d Be Going Backwards

Fog lights are not driving lights. They look doofy. Turn em off slow pokes.

How bout those nervous nellies too scared to drive without headlights on in the daytime or if there is a little rain!

if you're not looking to remove any of the current sensors in the engine bay, there are a couple of other spots available.
temp - since you mentioned you have a tbi setup, you can use the spot in the driver side head for this probe. You may need an adapter depending on what came with your gauges, but it can be found at any local auto part store for $1-2
oil- i tapped off a spot right near the distributor.
