Need information

So I am wanting to switch my car from TPI to carb but I am actually kind of new to this whole process. I know enough about motors but not enough to do this without some help. The car is an 86 305, the parts I am putting on it consist of:

Trick Flow Super 23's with 175cc intakes and max .540 lift.
All around MSD streetfire ignition, that means the box, coils, dist., and plug wires.
Lunati Voodoo cam .468/.489 lift 262/268 duration
Hedman streets

So now that the parts are listed I was wanting some help in not only deciding what intake and carb I should use to replace my TPI system with but also what exactly I would have to do to do this swap on this year model car. Examples being, what [parts must be replaced along with the swap, what changes must I make when talking in the aspects of the computer, should the carb be elec? All of these may seem like newb questions but I can't seem to find a detailed explanation of the process and everything involved anywhere. Please/Thanks for all help in advance. Also on a side note, please refrain from any "Get a 350!" comments. I don't want a 350.
