This is exactly what I did in my '63, but I have a factory gauge dash.
I ran the wire from the idiot light sender to where the overspeed warning red light would have been on the cluster (and sanded off the "overspeed warning" words on the red lens) so now I have a pressure gauge and a warning light. It is located next to the oil pressure gauge in the picture.
I did the same with the temperature sensor as well. I have a factory temperature gauge as well as the sender for the green/red idiot light. I only use the wire from the red side of that sender and it goes to the other red dot in my gauge cluster. It is located next to the battery gauge in the picture.
