TBI to Carb.... whats needed?

Ok, I want to switch from my TBI setup to a Carb, what will I have to change? Also, is this going to affect anything else on the car, like my speedo, AC, or Cruise Control?

Thanks for any help,

There's a tech article for converting to carb from tbi. But basically, you'll be eliminating the computer. You'll need a carb, vac distributor, either a fuel pressure regulator or fuel pump. If you leave the harness in you can still use your exsisting fuel system w/ a regulator. If you remove the harness you'll either need to wire the fuel pump to come on with the switch or install a mechanical fuel pump. I made the swap a couple of months ago. Was a two day job.
