The condensor is the small black box (maybe 3/4" x 3/4" x 1/4") with a single wire coming off. The condensor is usually mounted to the clutch slave or the tranny (near the slave). It connects to the yel/red single pin connector. That yel/red wire is tied into the same circuit as the yel/red for the oil pressure sender.

It provides a buffer for the oil pressure gauge, and with the condensor disconnected all sorts of eratic oil pressure readings can result.
