Gauge cluster swap-HELP!

My '83 Camaro (4 cyl orig.)now has a 350 w/TH350. It still has the original gauge cluster-85 mph speedo, big gas gauge on the right, and idiot lights between for battery, oil pressure and temp. I have a cluster from a junked '8x with a 115 mph speedo, tach on right w/inset oil pressure gauge, and middle gauges for gas, temp, and volts. Anyone know how to make this swap before I jump in blindly? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Also you probaly need to change the oil pressure,and tempature switches to sending units.Mine dont work and others have said the same thing when they changed their clusters.I swaped a 87 IROC cluster with my retarted idiot lights.Every thing works except the oil and temp.Next week ill change them out and fix the problem.
