replacing idiot gauge lights question

my 1987 base camaro is barebones for options

does have c&c t-tops and is a v6 multiport 5-speed

but my guages r just speed and gas

the other 3 holes r red idiot lights for oil temp and battery

i'd like actual gauges for those

i'd also like to have rpm gauge but that can wait

my question is.....

do i just need to replace those 3 gauges and replace the sensors?

and the wiring shouldn't have to change correct?

or is there something else i need to consider?

You need to replace the cluster and the senders.
