Careful you don't vaccinate yourself with the green stuff. The biggest challenge was getting the speedo cable screwed back on when putting the cluster back in.

if you remove the clip on the side of the motor first, you get an extra 6 inches of cable to pull through the firewall. then its a snap to screw on the cable to the cluster and replace the cable in the clip on the side of the motor
