fuel injection or carb

Hey guys whats up had a question maybe you guys can help me out. I'm thinking of selling my lt1 and going with carb instead of fuel injection. I've had my car in storage about four years. I turn it on and drive it around the block it runs good but all the wiring for the lt1 makes the engine bay look like sh!$t. I don;t won't to buy a painless wiring. any suggestion thanks

GMPP makes a carbureted intake for the LT1. It's really a variation of the Edelbrock Performer Vortec. Drop in a HEI, fix the fuel pressure issue, and have some fun!

You can get with Pocket, he is making some harnesses without all the extra wiring that's not needed.
