help me pick 3 out of the 7 gauges

You've already got oil pressure, water temp and voltage on your dash panel - no need to duplicate them. If you don't have a supercharger or a turbo, you don't need a boost gauge. That leaves you with only 3 real choices:
-A/F ratio (will do little more than provide a psychedelic light show as the A/F ratio cycles back and forth rapidly in closed loop - no useful info)
-Vacuum
-Oil Temp
None of those seems particularly useful.

I've got the same package with trans temp, A/F & the Vaccum.
I did the install no my 3.8 , here's how
1. vaccum, just drill a hole into your intake and tap with 1/8 npt tap, get the connector from autozone to connect to the gauge hose.
2.a/f - this was a pain because there are 5 blue wires running to the ecu, I had to cut & splice every single wire before I found the right one.
3. trans-temp, make sure you get the correct adapter for the sensor, it is a 1/8" npt thread. You might have a hard time finding it as only speacilty shop can order it. Then it must be welded to the pan. Or it is posible that the drill & screw on drain plugs from autozone have the 1/8 not thread but I haven't checked.
I bought a 2nd oil pan just so I could have it welded while still driving the car. I actually screwed up the first pan because I had the wrong size adapter and it leaked so I had to do it again.
Be very careful when choosing the spot for the temp sensor, it is very tight under that auto trans oil pan, I have mine on the front right corner.

Is there no existing full-vacuum port on a V6 intake that you could "tee" into with a plastic fitting? Doesn't it have the vacuum connection for the HVAC system, for example, that you could have used?

ofcourse i used a shop vac to try to avoid getting chips in the intake manifold.
