Injection to carb

Ive seen a cheap 305 engine for sale, [i would like a 350 but you never find them here ] its out of an 1985 Iroc z and complete.
Its injected, so would all the stuff from my 83 carbed 305 fit?
Ive got an Edelbrock manifold, carb, Mallory dizzy, would things like the exhaust manifolds bolt right up?
In other words is it a fairly straight swap?
Thanks for any help, pointers or tips.

It's a very straight swap. The longblocks were identical except for pistons and cam, with the FI engine having the better ones.

Should run great with the carb stuff on it.

Oh, if you're getting everything, the exhaust in the FI car is also the better stuff.
