what stays what goes

well my 305 is garbage now and i got a 350 out of my grandfathers 94 g20van. the motor is tbi. now as you know or have seen, the camaro engine bay is loaded with useless ****. i want to set it up so its basically 4 wires, the motor, the a.c. etc.. there are no emission laws here so smog crap is gone also im going carbed.

so as far as i know/understand the distributor needs to go (thinking of getting a mallory) as well as the throttle body (obviously) will the intake bolt up to the carb or do i need to get a new one?

anything im missing or should add..

please give input as i have never made the engine bay naked.

edit: also there is a very small budget to do this. i just need it to run to get to work and school, performance will be an issue later on. also i was thinking of using these headers (exhaust manifolds are rusted to ****) until a rebuild

You need a different intake manifold. Look for an '87-up non-Vortec style for ease of installation. I understand the Crosswind style intakes have both bolt patterns, but I can't say that from personal experience (nor would I necessarily recommend that brand, although they are cheaper than Edelbrock/Weiand/Holley equivalents).

You'll need to fabricate all new exhaust for those headers. Unless you have access to welding and tube equipment, fabricate = $'s.
