If there mk1 clocks then they'll fit ie sr or gte. If there gsi clocks then they won't.

What engine do you have?

oil pressure sender unit and rev counter wire may need attention the rest will work.

later mk1's usually have the extra wires in the loom, take a look behind the dassh to see if there are a couple of extra ones poking out, the rev counter one is green & there should be an extra bit near the coil to connect it, can't remember what the oil one is, but a poke around the back of the engine should tell you

what sort of work is involved for the oil pressure and rev counter. i'm in the middle of doing a 20xe conversion if thats makes a difference.

my car is a H reg, so that would be the last of the mk1s if i'm right
