I use the stock column and the stock underhood distribution boxes. all stock wiring and the stock drivetrain. it would be a bigger deal and higher cost to program it out. usually I use the stock cluster with extended wiring to put the steppers in the original gauges but its a lot of soldering and the gauges end up pretty fragile. I ordered a con2r set for this current truck and had them program it to work with the stock senders.

something like the OBDII interface would work probably better than my way of isolating the gauge wiring for the new gauges and leaving the skeleton cluster hooked up, but its my only solution right now.
There has to be a LOT of tuners out there that would have a work around for this. However, the way you are converting is not standard and that always requires more work arounds!
