[s-cars] Plumbing for boost gauge

Double hmmm.  I've been going through the planning phases of more or less
the same thing over the last week or so, tearing apart a spare cluster,
removing the ashtray (how do you disconnect that light bulb anyway?), etc.
One scenario I was planning was to relocate the factory clock and voltmeter
down in the ashtray area in a custom panel.  Then install the boost gauge
where the clock was and the factory oil pressure gauge where the voltmeter
was.  In looking at the circuit board for the aux. gauges though, it seems
that the earlier circuit board would also be needed in order to install the
oil pressure gauge where the voltmeter is on the '95s and up.  Can anyone
confirm that?  Plus the clock wiring could get tricky in order to maintain
the factory functionality but looks doable with a second circuit board.
