Skip the oil pressure switch and try for the pressure relief plug below it -
long
hex-shape plug. Remove it, withdrawl the spring and plunger then funnel a good
amount
of oil in that way - quickly replace the plug and crank it up. Works 95% of
the time
and is a little easier than dropping the pan again.
