The best route seems to be to replace them with carb model items.

I used a holley throttle bracket, with a TBI cable.

I also used the stock 700R4 cable.

Here is the link for the Throttle bracket.

I used the stock lines with the intank TPI fuel pump. I used the mallory 3-port return style AFPR. I had new fittings put on the stock rubber lines and ran a braided line to the carb.
