GM Crate motor with tpi

hey guys i just got a gm crate motor for my 91rs, and its already got a speed density tpi setup off of a 92 z28 mounted up. i have the harness, ecm, and a couple other little computer modules that i dont really know what they do. im swapping from a 305 tbi, so its pretty basic. from what i understand, i need a tpi fuel pump, and possibly the fuel lines too? apparently the tbi lines cant handle the boost in pressure. i already have the harness all layed out and labelled ready to go. any other problems i might run into besides the fuel delivery system?

No problem for TBI fuel lines to handle TPI pressure - they're the same thing.
