305tbi to vortec 350 5.7 swap

Hey friends , I'm about to start my first swap , I have a 89 camaro that I pulled a 305tbi out of and want to go to 350 so I found a vortec 350 for 500$ with computer an harness I pick it up Thursday nov 29 , but need a little advise I don't know if I should convert to tbi with performer Intake an tbi adapter and if I do I have to send prom off from my 305 computer to work with 350? If that's the route what else do I need to do? Or use the vortec computer an keep its injection system ? What's easiest and cheapest any help is greatly appreciated
