I replaced mine by reaching underneath. If I would have removed the passenger seat, it would have been a lot easier to get in there.

Easy to do, but you have to remove radio to get to it.
I would get an OEM oil pressure gauge if that's what's in there now. The Crown and Omix gauges are
. Get a used OEM gauge off of ebay. Three wires that simply push up onthe gauge, light socket pops out (gently pull on it), and two nuts hold the bracket in place that holds the gauge in the dash.
Pull wires off, pop light out, undo two nuts on bracket, pull bracket off back side, gauge pulls out of the front side of the dash.

Working on slowly restoring it back to mostly Stock
When I first replaced mine, I didn't even do that, I blindly removed the nuts from the back of the old gauge and pulled it out through the front with everything else left in place.
You could instead fold the windshield forward, remove the dash pad if it's still there, remove the dash screws, the plastic shield around the steering column, and pull the top of the dash just far enough off to access the gauge.
