It sounds like you understand it correctly. I didn't use the lenses or the dummy lights. I used 5/16" LEDs that you just drill a hole and push them through. I have pictures of it on my home computer. I'll try to grab them and send them tomorrow. I didn't have to cut any visible part of the dash. I did cut the back out so that the wires could be connected to the guages and LEDs. My cluster had already been cut up by a previous owner so that they could mount a new radio, so I didn't really care about chopping it up more.

And yes, I have a '69 Camaro.
