Default what is this sensor?

this one on the back of my 91 crx si's block, d16a6 motor, i need to know what the sensor with the yel/grn and black wires is, the one to the left of the oil pressure sensor. i'm swapping for a z6 should i swap it over or just leave it unplugged? the z6 doesnt have a place for it but there is one location where i could thread it and screw it in... what does it do?

Thats the fan switch sensor if you want your fan to work you should keep it hooked up on OBD1 motors it was moved to the thermorstat housing as stated before

And the sensor to the right is the stock oil pressure sending unit. (input for oil pressure gauge)
