Default Swap Gauges

I did a search but didn't come up with much. What are all of you doing for gauges when making the swap to LS power? I'm putting a 98 LS1/4L60E into my '68 Nova. Harness is about to go off to Speartech, but I'm wondering what to do about gauges. I have a full line-up of Autometer gauges from another project that I can use in the Nova. Is everyone just tapping into different sources than where the factory sensors pull from?

Find gauges compatible with the LSx senders and wire them in accordingly. It would be an excellent time to upgrade to an electric speedo so you wont need a conversion box or cable driver box

Use the 98 Fbody CTS so you wont require a serial data compatible coolant gauge. Only the 98's have a sender built in to drive a gauge

May have to PM you for more specifics when it comes time to place the order. Should be very soon. I'm just waiting on Speartech right now.
