Yes, you will use the Dakota Digital box/harness/senders for the gauges, and use the computer harness and senders for feedback to the computer. This is assuming that the DD setup is self-contained with it's own harness, and only needs power/ground. The gauge wiring in the Autowire kit would not be needed, though things like the dash lights and dimmer wires from the light switch will want to stay to connect to the Dakota box. But anything like oil pressure, water temp, fuel level, etc. that is already in your Dakota Digital dash could be eliminated.
The Dakota Dash I put in a friends Chevelle wasn't like what you are describing though; it had it's own box, but you still had to run the factory wires to it. In other words, it needed the factory fuel level wire hooked up to one terminal, factory turn signal to another and so on as inputs for their controller. If yours is like that then you will not want to eliminate the AAW dash gauge wires, but simply run them to the DD controller box instead of up to the stock dash.
