4th gen gauges in 3rd gen LT1

I have an '84 Camaro with finished LT1 swap. How hard would it be to put in 4th gen gauges? The LT1 was from a '94 Tran Am so it's ODB1.

Your biggest obstacle won't be getting them to work but rather having them fit and not look horrid. The rounded nature of the 4th gen cluster looks terrible when crammed into the rectangular dash of a 3rd gen.

I believe making it look pretty will be the fun part, more just worried about the difficulty of getting them to work. Do you know if I would need OBD1 gauges to match my OBD1 LT1? And how hard would it be to get them to work?
