Oops my bad. Will put pics up when I get home. Was told it's a cx racing with dual pass. It's got inlet n outlet with rad cap on right side top. A what looks to be a bleeder on top right and what looks to be a drain plug on bottom right

Nope, you won't be able to use the level sender or temp switch without drilling/tapping/welding.
The sender is pretty important. It keeps you from ruining the engine by getting too low on coolant.
The temp switch is related to the 3k RPM startup, but also affects cold start mixture. It can be bypassed by connecting the 2 wires together.
