M42 has just one sensor. What am I looking for?

The whole oil filter housing?
That sucks. I already replaced the bushings and gasket. Then I need to remove the alternator and loosen the belts too?
I've taken the upper intake manifold off so many times now, I can do it in my sleep.
Looking at the motor from the front I see 2 sensors with clips on the right side. Are those the knock sensors? Looks like I can get my hands right in there.
Has anyone here replaced M42 knock sensors?
Maybe they are easier than M44 and I6 sensors?
Didn't realize the photo was of the sensors. I'll take another look tomorrow. Thanks.
