Default 91 Cav. 2.2 Oil pressure switch

Ok so I need to change the oil pressure switch on my 91 Cav. with the 2.2. I bought the new switch and the switch socket to get the job done.....problem is that the switch that is on the car now looks nothing like the switch I need and the tool I have will not fit over part of the switch.

I am lost, hoping someone can help me out with this so that I do not end up having to tear off the entire intake manifold and everything attached to it in order to get this "random" switch off.

I have included a "picture" of the switch that is on the car now that I personally made with my beyond awesome MS Paint skills lol
Please someone tell me wtf.

They make some offset wrenches that might work if there is room in that area to use them. Another name for them I have heard is crowsfoot wrenches. It is worth a try.
