I think you may want to re word the question into your translator again. Not exactly sure what you are asking for, but I will assume:
That you want to know if a later model cluster will fit into an older style dash. The answer is not without modifications to make it fit, and to make the electronics work. So that means no it is not a direct fit..

It is possible, but it takes a lot of work. Electronic wise I do not know the answer other than everything will probably have to be re-pinned and may be easier to start with a 91 style interior harness if you can find one.

If i remember right the width on the dash was different, which was more of an issue than anything else.

Yes the width may be different between the two but if you use the dash and door panels it all fits. The frame width of the body is not different.

since he asked about the instrument panel in the first post I assumed he meant just the dash

And I assumed just the cluster, but still. A lot of work either way, but it can be done.
