I prefer the mechanical gauges myself. The only problem you might have is finding a hole big enough in the firewall to run the temp probe through, since you cannot take that piece off. Otherwise, it's pretty easy to hook them up.

You can hook the voltmeter anywhere under the dash. A easy place might be the fuse box. They have these fuse taps you can buy now that plug in where the fuse went, and gives you another place to tap into for power. Pick something like the blower motor or the radio fuse, anything that turns off with the key.
