Converting From Digital Dash To Normal

Hey guys

I have a 1987 trans am with the digital dash. Just about everything on it no longer works and ebay sells them for like $400 with no garatee theirs work 100% eiter. So I want to convert to the traditional 4 circle cluster thats in every late 80s firebird, anyone done this before? just how complicated is it? I know the front bezel will have to be changed, but the rear behind the cluster is part of the entire dash right? is that different? Would I have to rip out the entire dash from driver to passenger for this?

I bought a whole digital dash for $175 off CL and popped it in...works great. I like the DD look over the analog look.

what do you mean "popped it in", the harnesses themselves and the harness locations are different
