installing oil pressure and temp gauges on B230FT

I want to add a electrical VDO oil presure gauge on my B230FT, which of course currently has the OP light tapped into the OP port on the block. I would like to have both the light and the gauge function. Is it possible to get both the gauge and the idiot light to run off the same port? Can I simply run both wires from the same sender?
Or should I be looking for a second pressure port for the gauge?
Also, where would one install an oil temp sender on the B230F? The one on my B20 is mounted in the oil pan, but I was hoping there might be another location on the B230FT.
I am sure I am not the first Volvophile down this path; can someone please advise me?
Thanks
John D.
