since i'm in the middle of this, i'll take a stab.
you will need the dash carrier,gauges with gauge cluster and bracket.dash harness and printed circuit board.ash tray, glove box door will not come with the dash carrier.an engine harness is also recommended but not necessary.
my chevelle came with an ss dash but of course after disassembly-i find its a monte carlo dash(with the 4 telltale holes) my tach is out of a trans am and the smaller gauges are epoxied to the carrier. additionally the wiring harness has been hacked to death so i am faced with changing the whole thing.
i just watched a complete dash sell for $980.00u.s. on e-bay and it was far from perfect and the circuit board had been cut.
i am now looking at the complete thing at ground up for $1695.00u.s. so by the time i pay the exchange rate plus shipping/brokerage fees and gst i will be $2500 into canada.
this chevelle is killing my wallet every single day.
anyway if someone has a different route then please chime in. i know about the covan route and digital gauge route but i am going for the stock(clone) look.

Yeah, already ordered a dual flex-a-lite electric fan setup, some new gaskets, rear view mirror, and new door handles. I was thinking about switching the dash out, but sounds pretty involved and my dash is in good condition. I figured if it was just a cluster change out I would so it, but now I see you have to change everything. I think I'll spend the money on other stuff.
