I blew a piston on my 13B!!

haha I'm just kidding....but I do have a question....I was prepping my car for installation of my new radiator (whenever it gets here ) and I removed 2 what is probably sensors... to me... on the very top and another on the bottom right...anyone who has installed a koyo or changed out an s4 radiator in general....can you tell me what those are? if you know what i am talking about?

The temp switch (bottom) is for the emission controls and not really important. The level sensor (top) is very important.
