odd question with an 010 block in a 91 gta

i picked up a 91 gta roller and i have a guy whos got a couple of 350 blocks for sale and 2 of them are 010 blocks. i know those were late 60's-70's blocks. my question is do they have provisions for the oil pressure switch and knock sensors?

The knock sensor uses the block drain hole and they all have the 1/8" pipe thread by the distributor for the OP gauge.

The knock sensor was designed to fit the hole, not the other way around.

The holes are on both sides of the block.
