what is it you are trying to repin? as far as reusing the factory gauges, i would assume they all would work except the tach. what years were each vehicle?

ok. the 92 has a different setup for the gauges. the speedo uses a vss. 89 and older are cable driven, but had a speed sensor inside the speedo. the factory tach will not work accuratly. the other gauges may, but im not sure. i think the v6 fuel pump will work, but i would eliminate the doubt and get one for a same year v8 car. i would suggest just getting aftermarket gauges. are you familiar with the v6 to v8 swap?

go into the third gen section and read the sticky on the v6 to v8 swap. as far as gauges, i dont trust anything other than autometer. i have a very basic right now and im in around $120, and those are the cheapest.

the acc fuse popping could lead to a lot of things that could be shorting out. i would say to buy a circuit breaker and systematicly unplug things until you can find the issue. that will be cheaper in the long run than buying fuses all the time. when you swapped the harness, did it replace the aldl under the driver side portion of the dash? there is a way to jump power to the fuel pump through the aldl, i just dont know which pin it is off the top of my head. the heater fan, check for power at it as well. i dont think that would be why the acc fuse is popping, but its possible if wires are crossed
