It connects into the bottom of the timing cover.

It's just visible in the lower left corner of this pic - http://www.go-fast.org/z28/MyParts/crankseal1.jpg

White connector with wires going in to it. The hub is off the crank in that pic, but you don't need to remove the hub to change the sensor.

Another visual. Most other cars will not run with a bad crank sensor. The LT1 is different, in that it gets position info from the optispark for ignition purposes. The crank sensor is only used for detecting misfires.
