The trans ams built in the late 70's used two engine choices an Oldsmobile 403 and the Pontiac 400 it is your understanding that the only way to get the 400 Pontiac engine was to also get the 4 speed?

To get a 400 Pontiac Motor in 1979, you had to also get the 4 speed. Pontiac last manufactured 400 motors in 1978 but saved some from 1978 for use in the 1979 model. Those motors were used in the 1979 4 speed cars only. 1979 Automatics had the Oldsmobile 403. You could also get a turbo version too. All of which could come with auto trans. I worked on many of these at the Pontiac dealer.

Where is the oil sending unit on a 3 8 1995 Pontiac engine?
There is no such thing as a 1995 Pontiac engine. IIRC Pontiac engines were last used in Pontiac cars in 1988, and in GMC trucks in 1992. A 1995 Pontiac may have a Buick 3800 engine with the oil pressure sender screwed into the block just above the oil filter. You might have a Chevy or Oldsmobile engine..... but unless it's a V8 your oil pressure sender should be very near the oil filter.
