replacing stock gauges

How hard would it be to replace the the stock oil pressure and water temp. gauges and keep the new ones in the stock location? What kind of work would that project include?

I want to replace with aftermarket gauges. My big question is really only what do I do with the circuit board thing on the back of the cluster. Do I cut it, or just run wires around?

Off the subject. Saw you are located in Corvallis, OR. That is where I grew up. Lived there from 1977 - 1996. Very nice. I know there aren't a lot of these cars there in CornValley. Have fun.
