I would like to change th cluster in my 96 Lesabre custom over to the limited cluster I have seen in many of the same car and similar years. My reason for change is to gain the guages tach, temp, etc. The warning lights are at the top of the dash in the cars with the guage package. Can I change the cluster and top of dash over and more or less plug these in?

As long as they are analog and not digital it should be fine. All the wiring should be there. The only gauge that might not work would be the tachometer. If it doesn't work, you would only have to add one wire.

Just an FYI, even the analogue guages in the newer GM's are electronic
But generally speaking, in most applications, they use a different connector altogether.
On my car even thought I have a full gauge cluster I have duplicate red light indicators as well.
You may have to change the sending units for the Oil & Temp gauge.
