guage cluster swap questions, and fuel guage not working, help please

ok its a 1987 sport coupe, im making a 85-90 RS clone,

2 things, it does NOT have the factory take, just a speedo and a fuel guage and dummy lights, if i get a cluster from like a rs or z28 with tach and guages can i just put it in and will it work or what do i need to do?

and my fuel gauges is constantly wayyyy fast full and never moves, why could that be?

BTW, the 90+ in your car won't work.
