Welcome to the boards. I think you should be able to put gauges in there no problem, but I'd also run a search because I know it's been done before, and you can get a few tips on it as well. good luck.

Can you explain what exactly it is you're asking? And what is it you're planning to put on in the way of gauges. I have the same car as you, and I added an aftermarket tach. I attached it to the right side of the cigarette lighter/rear defroster block. It looks pretty slick.

I actually mounted my tach to the cigarette lighter part and not the face below the dash. But the best advice I can give you is to take off some of the panels, the dash, and things like that to see where there is room to mount your gauges. It's not really hard to take some of that stuff off, and at least that way you will know for sure that you're not going screw something up.
