The temp gauge in my car has not worked since I bought it, and I'm finally getting around to repairing it (or rather, having someone else repair it so that when I come home from Iraq on leave, it's already done.) I found a replacement gauge at Eckler's, and a sending unit. Are these things the only parts that I may need to get the gauge operating again?
This stuff would be so much easier if they would make "gauge repair or replacement kits" for people who aren't tech savvy, like myself.

That should be all ya need. The only other "part" there is would be the actual wire from the sender to the gauge...unless it's damaged somewhere, it should be fine. 
Keep yer head down over there(when appropriate)!
Thanks for your service!
