i am converting my 68 gmc dash from idiot lights to factory gauges. im not hooking up the battery gauge because i did a 5.3 swap with a stand alone harness do i still need to add the wire from the junction box with the 4 amp fuse? is this a constant 12v hot wire to the gauge cluster? thanks for any help

No, since you won't be using the battery gauge, you do not have to hook up either of the wires with the 4 amp fuses.
