Whos rollin Hot Rod style? ECM less, Extras gone

Who has gutted everything from there third gen, and is running a simple 350 (or not so simple) carb setup, or TPI setup? I mean, no computer, no smog equip, no fluid tanks, vacuum lines etc. If you are one of these people, do you use it as a daily driver also? When doing such a swap, what things need to be considered? For carb apps, the fuel pump needs to be changed? Im curious. If you have any pics, please show me.

mine is empty too, no ecm, no emissions equipment at all and no washer fluid reservoir.

I have a non-cc quadrajet on the original L69 (rebuilt and modded motor). Right now the trans and axle are broken so it is sitting in storage.

I used to drive it in the summer on clear days and the car would be suitable for everyday use except for the washer fluid and premium fuel/bad fuel econ.
