I put an oil pressure,a boost,trans. temp and coolant temp. gauge in my car.2 are in the spot where the radio was and the other 2 are where you mounted yours,under the the dash vents.I took the top of the dash off,drilled a small hole to route the lines through to go up into the dash then fed it down through the center of the front of the dash (closer to the windsheild) and pulled it out by the brake pedal and through the fire wall next to the wire harness.It's not really that hard,just a little time consuming.

 

I have Autometer mechanical gauges (oil pres and water temp)mounted under the center vents, angled towards driver.Ran lines through top of console/heater control area.Drilled hole above right side of gas pedal to feed into engine compartment.
