I'm not fimilliar with Georgia smog laws but will it have to be smogged? You might run into problems since your car came FI, they might not like the fact that you are going back to carbed.

I would stay away from Holley carbs on the street. Just my opinion. As far as the headers are concerned, it depends on how much of your stock exhaust you want to reuse. You can buy short headers and a Y-pipe and reuse your entire exhaust system, or get long tube headers and have a custom exhaust built to connect to your cat back.
I'm not sure about the computer in your case. You may have to do some additional rewiring to get rid of it but I'm sure others on this board know the answer.
