Try using the VSI during an approach. It will make life tremendously
easier. I would pick the turn co-ordinator as the redundant instrument

How? By setting my approach RPM and MP, I can get very close to the
rate of descent I need. I then fine tune from there to accomodate the
difference between airspeed and ground speed. I almost never look at
the VSI during approaches. Simply no need if you have your power
settings available.
