So, is the stock oil pressure sender just for the dummy light or is it used by ECU to anything else? Can I remove it without consequences?
I found some threads here where people removed it, but I just want to be sure.
Thanks.

The one close to the oil filter is the temp.
The one on the left (from the front) is the oil pressure switch. It is not a fail safe switch. Literally unplugging it and tucking the line will not cause the light to come on.
It sends no information to the ECU.
I unplugged mine and tucked the wire harness to feed oil to a turbo. It works fine. I unscrewed the switch and removed it completely. 1/8 NPT thread for the fitting into the engine.
The gallery plug to the left and in front of the A/C compressor is the place to put a real oil pressure sender for a gauge / standalone if you are so inclined.
Analog temp will work fine off that front port though.
