What parts will I need other than a carb and a manifold?

Some guy said he'd sell me his 600 cfm carb for $50. I think I might buy it along with a good manifold (like a performer RPM or Stealth). What else will I have to get to convert to carb. Like what kind of ignition, fuel pump, afpr, lines...

BTW, I'm sorry for asking this question way too much. It's just that I think I'm finally going to do this swap this time.

92 RS (Rice Sucks) 305 TBI 5 speed T-tops AC stock 16 inch aluminum wheels
14X3 open element, 3.73 gears, posi, dual 2 inch bendable exhaust, no mufflers or cats (kinda loud), 160 thermostat, relocated IAT, weight loss, lots-o-free mods and one hell of a crazy driver.

I'm speculating this is for your TBI. You will need a vacuum HEI distributor, 4-8 psi fuel pump (AFPR not required). That should be it.

I JUST completed this swap... I'm slow but had the help of MYZ(Mean Yellow Z)... and I mean ALOT of help... I replaced my intake, added a carb, dumped alot of weight in wiring alone, changed distributor, and deleted my factory air in the process along w/the smog stuff (I was missing the pump anyway). It really emptied the engine compartment out!!!
after seriously cleaning/wire-brushing/sanding and painting the engine compartment out, I feel it looks about 500% better than it did.
Hopefully tomorrow I will get my carb tuned after installing my exhaust and new shifter cable. I replaced the bracket for the carb too and fabricated a bracket for the kick-down cable. Cruise control is next!!!
