Default REMOVING PLUG FROM EDELBROCK INTAKE

]I WANT TO HAVE BOTH IDIOT LIGHT AND MECHANICAL WATER TEMP GAUGE ON MY GT-37.

THE 400 ENGINE HAS AN ALLUMINUM EDELBROCK INTAKE. ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE THERMOSTAT IS THE CURRENT WATER TEMP SENDER THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I'M CONFIDENT I CAN GET THAT OUT. ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THERMOSTAT IS A STEEL PLUG THAT NEEDS TO COME OUT SO I CAN USE BOTH HOLES FOR THE 2 SENDERS. 3 QUESTIONS:

1) HOW BEST CAN I REMOVE THE STEEL PLUG WITHOUT DAMAGING THE ALLUMINUM MANIFOLD? LONGER BREAKER BAR? MORE HEAT? IMPACT GUN?

2) I WANT THE MECHANICAL WATER TEMP GAUGE TO BE THE GAUGE I PRIMARILY RELY ON FOR WATER TEMP. IS THERE A BETTER SIDE TO PUT THAT SENDER?

3) IS THERE AN ALTERNATE LOCATION BESIDES THE MANIFOLD TO PUT THE MECHANICAL SENDER?
