mech oil pressure gauge install

Got a stupid question

...here goes.
Do I need to draine engine oil to install a mech. oil gauge sending unit?
I plan to tap into the original sending unit's hole on a '86 13BT

Thanks in advance

Yes, very helpful, Greg! Thank you. I'm really enjoying the 13bt/h55 I bought from you and Sheldon!
Have a nice day,
