A piller gauge wiring Help!!

As title says. Got full A piller and 2 gauges from autometer. Got fuel pressure and nitrous pressure gauges. Cobalt series. I need help in finding wires to make the gauges work.Would like them to work with the ignition switch. Could someone please clue me in on as where they would be located and how to get to them?? Pictures would be great.
Just in case I'm not able to do this. Would it be better to take it to a auto electric shop or a stereo installer for hook up??

Thanks guys Bob

The job is easier if you pull off he pillar cover and drill a hole 1" above the hood latch cable exit hole through the firewall. The area on the engine side of the firewall is easier to work on, if you remove the front driver's side, rear wheel well panel (9 screws).
