91 firebrid 305 tbi to 350 tpi...what about computer?

Ok if you can give me any help i am sooo happy...my problem is i have a 91 firebird with a 305 tbi and manual trans, i am going to buy a 91 with a 350 and tpi. The problem is i have never seen a 91 with a 350 tpi and a manual trans. If i put the computer from the 350 in my car what do i have to do to it to make it work with the manual trans. Thanks for any help you can give to me.
Ron

Im pretty sure from TBI to TPI you need a new computer. Im going to do the same thing dude, 92 firebird instead though. I think the computers are the same from 88-92; I said i THINK so dont hold it against me.

well you have to use the new computer and wiring harness everything should plug right up. You shouldn't have too many issues as long as you get a complete wiring harness without any wires cut. I can't comment on it working with a manual, you might just leave the connectors for the auto off but I'm not really sure.
