So I have a 1985 Camaro base model with the queer 85mph speedo and a huge fuel gauge where I want a tach to go so I got a gauge cluster out of an 89 RS. Both cars are 2.8mpfi auto, so my question is A) Can I do that swap, B) How hard is the swap as I am a decent mechanic but not the greatest at wiring and C) What will I need? I have just the gauge cluster from the car with no wires but the cluster itself is all there and my current gauges are all hooked up... Any help would be greatly appreciated. My big concerns are time money and parts. I'm not sure if the cluster will fit without another trim piece or a newer dash and I also don't know what other parts I may need or how much it will cost.

Thank you so much that pretty much answered all of my questions... And it looks pretty simple... Not sure if my particular cluster will work but I have access to other ones and I'll just find the right one.
