What year is the cluster coming from?  The 87 has EFI and you need the speedo if the donor doesn't match.  Out side of that, you need to verify the pins on the cluster work with what you have and you may have to repin some of them.  And you will need to change the senders in the motor for the gauges.

Should be identical.  Just verify the wiring from what I posted in the tech pages.
