I have an analog t/a and a digital.They have totally different harnesses.It can be done but expect it to take awhile.Find out how many miles are on the digital dash.Mine has 140,000 and every gauge is off.Just my tach alone is 400 rpm's off from my pro comp.

honestly it would probably be easier splicing it in then replacing the 20lbs of wiring harness :P
but like the last guy says, it probably needs to be refurbished

well im not 100% but i think both clusters used the same sensors, provided your car came with the rallye guage package, otherwise you will need some sensors (dunno which ones i dont even recall what the base firebird guages look like)
i know there are a few little things that are different... like the door ajar switches... i cant think what else, i have a whole digital guage cluster with wiring harness in a box that i bought
i thought they shared the same connector in the back
