Default Crank Sensor is Where??

Hello,
This is going to sound strange I grant you.


I have a 04 G.C. with a 4.0 I rebuilt the top end and it was running fine until a week after the rebuild my Tranny started slipping. I pulled it and found another one which I am installing tomorrow.
The thing is,i cant remember pulling the crank sensor. It was dark when I started thinking about it so I was using a flashlight and did not locate it.
Can somebody please refresh my memory. The crank sensor HAS to be pulled when the tranny comes out right?
I feel so dumb right now. Its just that I have a zillion things I am thinking of and its been over a YEAR since the transmission was removed.
Thanks.

It's on the driver side of the bell housing at the 10:00 position. The wire connector is on the passenger side of the block toward the rear.

What I am wondering is. I would have HAD to take it off when I pulled my tranny correct? I don't want to get my transmission all ready to stab and then find out that the sensor needs to go in a certain bolt hole. I am a old school mechanic. I can count on one hand how many crank sensors I have had to deal with. Not very many you see? Otherwise I could remember where I put the dang thing. Like for instance a starter ya know? I WILL find it. Hopefully I took it off and placed it in a coffee can .If not its hanging with the rest of the wires they are resting where the tranny used to be. Thanks

I don't remember if it bolts to the block or the transmission. I think it bolts to the tranny. Take it off just to be safe.
