Jay,
I think they knew the cylinder head was prone to cracking if overheated so the two switches.
One for coolant temp in general, the other for the protection of the head if it had no coolant or no flow through it.

Just my thoughts. I've always seen or heard the integral heads were prone to cracking. But I have no personal experience.

Best of luck with it.
