TBI 305 to Carbed 350,TCC?

I am getting ready to install a 350 in place of the current 305 TBI. I have a 3310 holley, performer manifold, and vacuum advance distributor ready for the swap. I am wondering if I can leave the computer in place just for the TCC lockup? I don't think this is possible but not sure where the signal comes from. Also I have a 3port Holley regulator ( 1 in, 2 out). Can I set this up to send 1 to the carb and the other as the return line? I sure I will run into some other things as I get further into this but need a place to start.

The ECM provides the function. It will only lock up when in closed loop. When you eliminate the inputs needed to go closed loop, it will no longer provide the lock-up function.

Take a look over on the Transmission/Drivetrain forum. Options to provide lock-up w/o computer controls is discussed often there.
