Question 1983 SR5 with 22RE swap

I have a 1983 SR5 pickup, came with the 22R. I will be installing a 22RE.

Tach: Should be fine, both 4 cyl, right?
Oil pressure gauge: Should I swipe the oil pressure sending unit from the 22R before I scrap it?
Voltmeter: No problems there.
Fuel level gauge: I will have a tank from a EFI equipped truck, has anybody done a straight swap of an EFI tank into a carbed truck.

Would it be easier if I find a SR5 donor?

I'm looking at getting a complete truck. I believe it's a 1990, not sure if it's a SR5 or not. I figured it would make it a whole lot easier to find a complete truck. I could also go searching in a junkyard.

A donor truck would be nice because you would have all the parts you'd need in one spot.
