A little help?

Trying to hook up a 3 gauge pod (water temp, volts and oil pressure) and have no idea where the water temp sending unit goes. Also I not real sure about oil pressure hookup (near the oil filter?)
Engine is a 454, modified, but I don't know to what extent for certain. I know it has a modified cam, headers that flow into a 3-inch exhaust, elecrtic fuel pump, electric rad fan, etc. But aside from that I'm a neophite. I ain't afraid to try anything, and know a little about this stuff, but as you can tell not a whole lot. The jackass that built the car didn't hook up any of the factory gauges except speedo and tach (I am assuming the rest don't work anyway), and the wiring is a mess. Just trying to add the gauges to see if everything is working ok.
I'd add a picture, but can't figure the routine out.
Help? Thanks.

Sorry about the confusion, my mistake... I don't want to cook an engine that has been modified. I thought the performance people would know more, I thought they would be more experienced with big block engines as opposed to a standard 350 or a V6 (which is what most of the posts seem to refer to).

Never mind... Found out at a local speed shop yesterday. Apparently the sending units were already there, just didn't work, AND weren't hooked up to the gauges.
Thanks anyway though.
