You could have a twin pod A post pod and then lose one of your air vents/move the clock for the other, or you could butcher the centre air vents....

DaveEscos has a nice install, but he utilised one of the Din apertures, which you don't want to do....

EDIT: I'm too slow

Dave:







I free'd up a spare DIN slot about 1.5yrs ago, and still haven't gotten around to choosing/fitting any gauges

Dan,
You could mount two 52mm ones in the banana pod (replacing the OE items) and then one in a pillar pod...
