make sure the tubes on the back of the instrument cluster that guide the four differently lengthed (verb?) screws are held well to the back of the cluster. If they're missing or loose, epoxy them in place or replace them with plastic tubes/straws...and make SURE you get the right screw in the right hole or you will punch a hole or holes in the top of your nice new dash.
The speakers are no big deal and can be replaced anytime.
Check out the tubing to the side vents and ensure they're connected to the new dash...the stuff is just corrugated cardboard on my car and I think they're stapled or something to the dash vents...easy to get off but a bear to get back on.
Check/replace the flapper door to the heater core cover....it often overheats/distorts and in any case the seal will be bad...foam rots. I glued on a custom felt piece I cut out and put onto the new door. This door is essential to a good heater duct output and effective recirculation.
