question about installing gauges

i have an 87 gn and just purchased two gauges from the auto meter, pro-lite series one is a turbo vaccum gauge and the other is a oil pressure gauge, my question is, is it hard to install these things i would really like to do it myself one to learn and two because i called a local performance shop and they want 200 to do both, the way i look at it i could spend that money buying something else for my ride, anyways if someone could walk me through it it would be much appreciated, the gauges come with instructions but they suck and arent in good detail, plus im new to the installing thing, anyways any help would be awsome

Your boost / vacumn gage, you can find your MAP sensor on the pass side fender and follow the small tube to right behind the valve cover where it T's into a hose coming from the top of the throttle body. You could put another T in there by the T thats already there.
When I installed my oil pressure sender I removed the factory sender and put a brass T in there and installed the new sender in there with the factory sender. Use the teflon paste on the threads so you will still get a good ground.
If you can't find these things in your engine compartment, buy the repair manual CD that Bandit ( Jeremy ) is selling.
