It is located on the engine oil pump. If you face the engine from the front of the car and use a flashlight to see where the crank damper is, start looking to the left of that past the damper itself and though it is tight in there you will be able to trace a sensor wire on the left side (from the front) of the oil pump with a little sensor bolted in. It might be hard to get to from above. It might be easier with the car jacked up on stands with the engine splash shield removed. Or get the car in the air on a big shop lift if doing it from above isn't possible.

1996 is the first model year that SC300's got a crankshaft position sensor.
