Just an oil pressure sender. The other two are "plug and play" to an extent

To the extent that you will have to splice for the power and ground wires, the A/F gauge needs to be spliced into the O2 sensor wire. Other than that, no real issues.

You'll probably need a T fitting if you want to install the oil pressure gauge in the cam tower, instead of having to install it on the block.

2.2's and 2200's have 2 stop plugs above the oil filter that can be used as well, I think a 1/4NPT mail to 1/8NPT female adapter is needed (since I couldn't find one, I used a 1/4NPT male-male and a 1/4NPT to 1/8NPT F-F)

Use a 1/4 inch ratchet (no socket)... They are kind of a pain to see though.
