Default Aftermarket Gauges?

I've been thinking about adding aftermarket gauges for a while now. Currently, I'm doing some research, trying to figure out what I need to purchase to do the job. I tried using the search feature, but the posts weren't very specific.

Here's my situation. I simply what to add two A pillar mounted gauges. My engine is not and will not have a super charger. I only want to add an oil temperature and oil pressure gauge.

I think this is what I want:

1) Sound of Speed A pillar mount http://www.speedofsoundllc.com/2005-upMustangPod.html

2) Auto Meter Gauges. I like the look of the Sport-Comp II Gauges. I'll likely go with the short sweep electric gauges to save money.

Here are my questions:

1) What else do I need for this installation?

2) Do I need a new sending unit or will the factory sending units work?

3) How difficult is it to do the job? Basically, I know I need to mount the pillar and gauges, connect the gauges to the sending unit, and power them since they are backlit. Am I missing something?

4) Are there any online instructions on how to do the installation? I have no idea how to connect the gauges and the instructions I've downloaded from the manufacturers aren't 05+ Mustang specific.

5) I like the idea of functional oil pressure and oil temperature gauges. Is there a must have third gauge that would be good to have? Maybe a voltmeter, I guess?

Thanks for the help!
