You can't remove the OEM temp sensor. You would need to add a t-fitting and add an aftermarket sensor while still retaining the OEM sensor. I tried just replacing the OEM sensor with an aftermarket one when I did my other gauges install and I got a CEL P0118 and the car wouldn't start or when it did the idle was very low and the engine would stall. I put the OEM sensor back in and everything worked perfectly.
