The lower oil pressure switch is shown in the cross sectional view on 
page 6A-4 of the 61 shop manual.

The lower switch location is also shown on page 6A-51 of the 61 shop 
manual ( fig 6A-101).

The oil temp switch (you learn something new every day) is shown in fig  
6A-100 on page 6A-50! It is not labled, but is clearly screwed into the 
block with the sensing part in the oil pan area.
