did you reattach the condensor to one of the bolts of the clutch slave cylinder?

look through the drivers side of the engine bay and see if there is anythign hanging about. the condensor is a small black 'box' about the size of a pinky finger. It has a single wire coming out of it and a metal ring where you put a bolt through. It should be attached to the clutch cylinder. Should becuase I have a 86 N/A and thats where mine is at.

Look to see if the sensor wire is off. Near your oil filter there should be a metal cylinder with something that looks like the head of a thumbtack sticking out of the end of it. There is a wire that slides on to that. Without this you will get no reading to your oil gauge.

There should be a wire connecting to the oil pressure guage. But if all that was doen was a clutch job, check to see if there something attached to the mounting bolts of the clutch slave cylinder. it looks liek the following:
