All I can tell you is to call Auto Zone or Advance Auto or something and ask them...They should be able to help you....It might be somewhere near the back towards the tansmission.....But don't take my word on it.....

Taken from viper98885 at camarov6.com:
As far as the Crankshaft position sensor on the 3.4L...
It actually has 2;
One is a 3X Crankshaft position sensor and is located on the passenger bank of the engine. If you go down the side of the engine block from the number 3 exhaust port, you will be right behind the compressor and right in front of the starter. There will be a sensor held into the block with one bolt. That is the 3X CPS. It sits almost right below the knock sensor. The 3X CPS provides a signal through the electronic ignition control module which the ECM uses as reference to calculate RPM and crankshaft position.
The second is a 24X CPS. It is located on the front engine cover and is held in by 2 bolts. If you look at about the 2 o'clock position of the harmonic balancer, you will see the sensor with its wire leads coming off of it. The 24X CPS is used to improve idle spark control at engine speeds up to approximately 2000 RPM.
Both are relatively easy to access so removal/installation shouldn't be too difficult, but I have never had to get into it myself.
