Looks like an oil pressure sending unit and the ground strap from the engine block to the fire wall I'm guessing.

X2 on the oil pressure sender. Throw it away and get a mechanical gage.

hmm. actually that's a hard one. I coulda sworn the "idiot light" unit was a lot smaller, like damn near the size of a 18mm bolt head or so. That to me looks more like the actual gauge-gauge sending unit.

That's the real gauge sending unit, the one you need to use with an SR5 gauge cluster.

Aren't you supposed to have extra parts left over after an engine swap?
