TBI or Carb harness?

My car is currently an 89 305 RS Camaro. I want to install a 350 carb engine. My wiring harness was chewed by rodents and needs replacing.
I want to buy a replacement harness and I want to know if I can use a harness for a carb, or if I have to buy a TBI harness and then modify it.

If you're going to install a carb... realatively little of your original harness is even needed. Lights, gauges sender wires (if still planning on keeping OEM gauges), ignition and coil is all that's needed on the bulkhead (next to the brake booster) . The rest of the ECM wiring is garbage. 89 is still a cable drivin year as well so yes, the speedo will still function normal as well.

Do a search for carb swap.. there are many posts about this.
