The "frame" that carries the gauge set etc is attach to many things... Some bolts are to support that frame. Other bolts/screws support other things like trim goes under the steering column.
To move just the gauge set up may not be easy because 3 plugs to it may not reach. Most people have problems trying to work w/ the gauge set because tight space & near 0 slack to unplug the back 2 plugs. Is a big reason why I fixed the gauge clips (see here) in the car because to avoid those plugs. Beside of plug layout... the "board" on back of the set have problems & get "pins" get loose & can short out causing other problems. The set used to post pic's for that page, the "board" completely failed @ bottom near the Tach & several copper traces are floating in air.
