Default Gauge Cluster Swap headache

Ok, so I basically have my interior swap done. Now instead of getting a z28 cluster, or something ridiculous that I know wont work because the speedo wont be accurate without reprogramming, I found a 94 firebird that had the new dash set up, and had the same 3.4l motor, so everything should be basically the same. Each connector from my car and the firebird have 24 wires. One is a 17x4 and mine is a 16x4 connection layout, 17x2 and 16x2 pin layout. So I was going to simply cut, splice, connect. The color codes do appear to all be the same, only one problem. 2 sets of wires on each connector are the same exact color and thickness with no white or black line or writing to tell them apart. Ii read up on swapping clusters and they talk about repinning and all, but I am still stuck where I am now, not knowing what wire goes to what. I kind of need to know that to splice or repin.

So, does anyone have a pin chart of the 94 3.4l camaro gauge cluster as well as the 94 3.4l firebird? So I can get the wires connected, and be on my way. I rather not guess and check either, I dont want anything to short out and have more to do. I have until friday to get this done.

I also read on a sticky on here about the locations of everything, but the ONE thing it doesnt have is the pin layout for the HUD.

Why couldnt they color code a little better instead of putting the same color and size wires on the same connector.. ugh.
