305tbi to built 355 project with pictures and some questions

So it all starts out with the finding of my perfect summer car. a 1991 camaro rs t-tops. i have owned 1992 rs and a 1986 z28 but i wanted something more fun for the up and coming summer. so i sold both of those and bought this car and built this engine. The engine is a 350 block, 4-bolt main, 2.02 1.60 corvette heads, forged trw flat-top pistons, eagle crank, reconditioned rods, 268H comp cams(.480" lift i think), edelbrock intake manifold, hedman longtube headers, and holley 650 carb. I had a 5 speed setup that i was going to throw in but i changed my mind and found a built 700r4(heavy duty clutchs, higher stall converter, torque converter switch, and some other stuff.) A couple weekends ago i started by yanking out the original tbi 305 and it went pretty smoothly. I got my 355 drop in and in the process of hooking everything up and finishing it all up. Im only 16 years old so im limited on money but little by little it is coming close to the end. i have a bunch of pictures.

-Im also wondering what wires i can get rid of?
-How do i adjust the TV cable?( i bought one of those edelbrock adjustable throttle/tv cable bracket)
-What rearend size should i go in your opinion, i was thinking 3.73 or 4.10?
