Easy fit mate tbh  Look up the wiring diagram in a Haynes. Wired one up in a Nova once, just don't do the radio.
IIRC it needs a perm live, ign live,earth, illumination feed (from headlight switch) from the inside of the car and the two wires from the temp sender from the outside.
Grab a temp sensor from a scrappers, extend the wires and put them through the big gromet behind the glove box

Have you taken the bumper off to see that its not there? you cant see it from just looking under the bonnet
