Boost and A/F on a-pillar mount, then add oil/water/whatever to one of the panels he mentioned (2 variations in the 2nd gen for sale section) would be my setup. Why? So I can see, IMO, the two most important ones as I'm looking ahead driving. I can then glance down as needed to check on the others.
You can see the Boost gauge and the top of the A/F on the pillar mount which I think gives you the best view of them. In the space below the stereo is where I would/will/want to put the other gauges as needed.

AutoMeter makes single gauge pillar pods. Keeps the gauge from blocking anything else.
Personally, I can't stand gauges strewn about the dash haphazardly. ESPECIALLY when they block other things (even partially).

Mindspin311 - When I first fired it up after the rebuild and streetport, it was running open downpipe. Then I went 3"dp - 3" Magnaflow - 3" y-pipe into dual 3" Magnaflows at the end. Sounded sweeeeeet 
Aaron Cake - I find the A-pillar pods to looks more tacky than sitting a gauge right in front of the tach. I used to find that the A-pillars themselves obstruct my view of the road enough as it is, so I couldn't imagine mounting something else to make my view even worse. I find gauges blocking my view of the idiot lights and the useless part of the tach better than gauges that block my view of the road
