Question Help with 99-02 cluster in 98 car please!

Also posted in converions & hybrids.

Alright guys here's the rundown...

1998 Trans Am, formerly A4

Now: 2000 LS1/T56
2000 harness and PCM
2000 fuel tank and sending unit

Everything is wired in and working with the exception of the 99-02 instrument cluster. That is my only concern, and my only thing left to do. What specifically do I need to do to make this cluster work?

What I do know is that I do NOT need to swap to a 99+ dash harness, and that 98 uses 35 wires for the instrument cluster where as 99+ only uses 17 due to data being recieved through a serial data wire. This is the most in depth info I have been able to find after a couple hours worth of searching. Not very in depth

I suppose pinouts for the 98 and 99+ instrument clusters would help a lot. I was able to find a pinout for the 99+ but not the 98. There is one thread for 98 cluster pinout that shows up in the search but it is a dead link! I cannot for the life of me find a pinout for the 98 cluster

Can anyone here help me out? This is all I need to do and the car is DONE!

Thanks!
