instrument cluster swap -- need Tech 2?

My wife's '97 900S has never had a working fuel gauge in the ~15K miles that we've owned it. The distance to empty works fine, however. Rarely, the tach may work for a few seconds at a time on long trips (on 4+ hour trip it may work once).
I have an opportunity to buy a parts car, and could swap clusters out. Is it as easy as swapping the two, or does the "new" used cluster need to be married to the car? I take it the odometer will show the donor car's mileage as well, so I would need to document the work somehow.
Is it correct to assume that there is a "black box" for the instrument cluster behind the dash that could also be the culprit? I remember reading posts here in the past that seemed to indicate as much. I could swap that part as well if need-be.
Thanks all!
Chris
