Lots of analog clock cluster have temp and fuel gauge. All the way
through 1991 some came with the big clock instead of the tach though
somewhat rarely after 1984. Even the analog clock was deleted in some
versions mostly for other markets, as was the trip meter in the speedo.
How much could that have saved?

Yes some versions of the blue foil came with a screw connection for the
middle leg and don't use the middle leg itself. (and some versions of
the blue foil were not blue)
