The CPS is located on the middle lower part of the engine block, nearest to the passenger compartmnet.

Very hard to see, and breaks easy, when and if yoy can see it, use a pliers or wrench to twist it then pull it.

BTW i belive its a 8 mm wrench, which is bent specifically for this job.

I had a 89 Olds have the same problem, The sensor broke off in the block, and then the oil pan needs to come off - way too much money to do that, cause they need to rais the engin to get the oil pan off.

Good luck.
