Default Putting 2jzgte engine back in car have sensor and flywheel question

I have a 2jzgte swapped sc300. The old gte engine spun a bearing so i ordered a new auto swap for another engine. I have a couple of questions from swapping parts from my old engine to the new one.

First (i know this is dumb) is that i took the flexplate off of my new engine. There was a spacer between the flexplate and where is bolted into the block. Im using a w58 5-speed, so when i bolt the flywheel on i will not use the spacer, correct?



Second there is a sensor on the block that is different and im not sure which one to use. I tokk the one off of my old blockand snapped a pic of the difference:



Thanks

No spacer.. Bolt flywheel directly on the crank

That looks like the oil pressure sensor in pic#2. Use whichever one your harness is going to plug into.

GL with the install!

+1 i would assume you would use your old sensor since it was on your old setup.

the on on the block looks like the normal one, not sure about the one in your hand, but the advice of using whichever fits your harness is good advice as long as they both thread in the hole on the block.

I'd personally convert to the newer style sensors and clips just because they're newer/easier to come by. They all work the same, newer is just usually better/more convenient.

a large vice grip will also do the job.
