Default Are these two plugs interchangeable?

I have a tuck harness the the guys @ Rywire made for me, and I was thinking for a second that they didn't install a plug. Now I'm thinking that I was wrong to think that. They make many of these harnesses and I just don't see how they would mess up on something like that. I was thinking; since I'm using a bunch of parts that were laying around from a few builds, that I may have a couple of sensors that do the same thing here. Spacificly the thermostat housing sensor and the sensor in the head. Are they for the same readings or not? Can I just delete(not use) the one in the head? Because there is no plug for that sensor on this part of the harness, and I have every other plug figured out. I hope that there is someone that can answer this question definitively. Here is some pics for reference.



Here is the one in the thermostat housing:



And the one for the head: KEEP IN MIND THAT IT'S THE ONE WITH THE CLIP ON IT(BOTTOM) DO I SWITCH THE CLIP FROM THE BOTTOM SENSOR TO THE V-TEC PRESSURE SWITCH?



Just for good measure, here is one of both of them.

they are not interchangeable or deletable, one sends the signal for the fan to come on at a determined temperature and one sends signal to the ECU on water temperature (TW) to determine lean/rich mixture adjusts.

So I also found this on Rywire's site. They don't have an oil pressure switch either. Is there a way to bypass this. What the hell is going on here. I AM SO CONFUSED!

you can bypass it in the ecu. or if you want to get rid of the plug entirely, find a jdm vtec solenoid (serious)

Correct, the JDM solenoid does not have the oil switch at all. It really depends on what ecu you are running. If its a stock ecu for the motor then you are going to want to run it. If its an aftermarket tuneable ecu you could have your tuner disable it.
