305 carb auto to a 305 FI 5 speed

Hey all
I'm taking the 305 carb auto out of my 86TA and putting in a 305 throttle body and 5 speed from a junk 91 Firebird.

Has anyone else done this?

Im not doing it till spring or maybe later. Just wondering what kind of problems I may run into. I know I need to put a fuel pump in the tank. My biggest question is how much of the wiring I need to do to the interior. I assuming I need to change the computer, but do I need to change most of the wiring leading to and from it?

Anyone with some general tips or things to look for please let me know.

Thanks

And know flamming about not putting a 350 in, I just didnt want to find a good FI set up and I bought this Firebird running and driving for $800.00.
