You don't see the temp sender on his intake ?
Put a 7/16 socket on it, and it will come right out.
I don't understand your argument. If there was no place to install a sender great, but its right there. No reason to re-invent the wheel here, unless you are into spending unnecessary money.
He wants to install an aftermarket mechanical temp sender which evidently is much bigger than the little factory sender your talking about. He wants to put it where a big ole 3/8 crusty pipe plug is. He was concerned about getting that out. A few of us (me included) were giving alternatives. No Biggy, man. We're all here trying to help.
