Default Keeping Stock Gauges w/ BS3

I'm looking for some information on what sensors I can splice into or need to add to make the factory cluster work w/ BS3.

I know that I have to add a coolant temp. sensor on that back of the passenger side head. Both, oil pressure and ABS don't go through the computer, so all I am left with is vehicle speed, battery voltage and tach.

I'd like to piggyback the factory computer, so that my a/c will still work along with all the gauges. I'm trying to keep it looking like stock.

If someone has done this and could give me some tips -- Anything helps!

The only things that are affected with the BS3 is the tach and speedo. All the others can be kept. I still have yet to figure out the tach and speedo. I was told that if you spice into the crack sensor the tach will work. I have no idea with the speedo yet. Good luck and if you find a fix let me know.
