What wiring is all needed

Hi there tgo, long time since ive been over this way.

Im working on my 85 right now, and in the process of doing a carbed 5.3 swap, using the edelbrock kit with the msd box.

my biggest question, what all is needed from my stock wiring?

Im not running heat or ac, and will probably be using a 700r4.

Will i still need my computer?
