Oil pressure switch-sender

Evening gents, I was in the process of replacing my oil pressure switch-sender, but quickly realized as a 1972 OEM part it hadn't been replaced, and the unit appears to be seized. Now I'm not Bob Villa, however, I do have a decent set of tools. Any ideas on its removal/ proper tool? As always fellas your help is truly appreciated.

Right. Should be available at any decent auto parts store, also.
You may want to shoot a little liquid wrench on the threads of the old one a few hours before attempting removal.
