Patience is a virtue. This has also been covered thoroughly in the past 7 years making it easy to find in a search.
Also on this page, there are 2 similar posts to yours. Don't get upset because you didn't take the time to look for an answer.
To your question though. Nothing ECM related need to be kept when converting to carb. You'll need to obviously keep the oil sender (part of the OPswitch assy above the oil filter) and the water sincer (drivers side head, single green wire) if you are to retain function of your gauges.
In the event you ever want to revert to F.I (say, you sell the car), it's bet5ter to unplug the ECM harness and tuck it out of the way. Otherwise, trace all the sensor/injector/emission wires and cut.
