A sandwich plate fits on the modine where the filter sits,you want a adapter to fit in stock location so both the gauge and stock sensor sits,the oil light will be on if you leave out the stock sensor.
You want one of these:

The stock o.p switch grounds the cable when it closes, so leaving it out and the cable tied neatly back will leave it inoperative.

I've just relocated my to below alternator as it was on sandwich plate but think heat from. Headers cooked the sensor. Was a bit of a chew on but a crows foot spanner made light work of getting to it. Still in need of a new sensor but other priorities at the moment.

No, you don't need to refit the original. Mine is on a shelf in the garage, where it's doing as much good as it ever did on the car, LOL.
Some sender will not PHYSICALLY fit where the OE switch is, they are too large. Then you HAVE to use the remote fitting kit. But you don't have to have the OE switch, just leave that opening on the kit blanked.
If the wire is too short it's a two minute job to extend it.
Your choice, your car.
But PLEASE don't use a sandwich plate when the correct position is so easy........
