Default Installation help with gauges needed!

I will be installing 3 electrical gauges in my pillar pod, Volt, Air/Fuel, Oil pressure or Water Temp. Is there a guide located somewhere that would show me specifically how to hook these up for my non-turbo PT?
If not, any help would be appriciated! Thank you!

ok
the orange wire in the a-pillar harness is for the illumination of the gauges, it allows them to dim w/ the dash lights.
the upstream oxygen sensor signal wire is violet (almost sure) and you'll have to tap into that between the sensor and the main connector for the PCM (C1)
the voltage reading can be taken from the pink wire as it is constant 12v from the power distribution box

Rally,
Thanks for the tips! I'm hearing that I cannot just tap into that violet wire, I have to install another oxygen sensor for the A/F gauge, is that true? Also, where is the best location to tap into to install my vacuum line for my vacuum gauge (I don't have a turbo!) Thanks again!
