Where to put gauges in an '84?

That definitely crossed my mind and I would if it weren't for two things. As for the radio...I've got a rather expensive CD player (one of those Kenwood Masks) and I'm not about to rip it out to install some gauges. And about a week ago I checked out the holder Florida 5.0 has to mount the gauges between the A/C vents on the passenger side, but that's right where my anniversary badges are. Wouldn't they also be kinda hard to see all the way over there? I was wondering about the vent that's right next to the gauge cluster on the left (right under the driver's A pillar). I'd also rip out the ash tray/lighter plate if I could find a holder to fit it.

1984 1/2 GT350 (#842 Hatchback w/ T-tops), 302HO, Comp cams Xtreme Energy cam, Carter 625cfm carb, Weiand Stealth intake, MSD distributor, MSD coil, FMS 9mm wires, 1 5/8" MAC unequal shorties, 2 1/2" MAC Prochamber H-pipe, Flowmaster 2 chambers, KYBs, 16"x8" 4 lug Cobra Rs, Falken 245/45ZR16s

So I pushed it up to 110,
That flathead motor was about to give in,
I crossed my fingers and prayed to the lord,
Don't let me down you fuct up ford!"
