Not doing the instrument cluster/dash wiring with the dash out of the car may be something you ask yourself about later also. On my son's '73 SSP we did all the wiring with the dash out of the car and it was easy as pie. Connect everything on the back side of the dash and THEN put it in the car. Once you set the dash in the car all you have to worry about is running the harness down the driver side kick area and attaching the bulkhead connector to the firewall. No laying on your back struggling under the dash BS.
