2.8l mpfi to carburated 350

So I tried searching for this kind of swap, but couldn't find anything so maybe y'all can help? I have a 1986 Camaro sport coupe THE MOST BASIC ONE and the 2.8 just blew in it, I'm contemplating doing an engine swap on it. I have a 1994 chevy 350 that was throttle body, but was converted to carburated, I'd like to put that in there. I plan on keeping the 700r4 and I'm not worried about emissions as it is not a problem where I live.
Here's what I know I have to do so far.
-stronger fuel pump
-radiator/fan
-engine mounts/mounting brackets
-new transmisssion bellhousing 60⁰ to 90⁰
-exhaust manifolds
-stiff front coil springs
-stronger panhard bar
-Tv(detent) cable will need a new mounting bracket and need to be adjusted properly along with the throttle cable.
-the codes will need cleared off of the ecm so it's not searching for stuff that isn't there.
-I also heard that I may have to trim the firewall.
-also new guages, my car has the idiot lights that don't even work so.
-down the road I'd also like to get 3:73s with posi in the rear, got 3:42s right now.

Anything I'm missing, and will my stuff still work normal, mainly my heat (I don't have A/C) and other electronics such as lights and radio, I have an 85mph cluster as well, will that still work?

Also any good pointers on how to go about doing TV cable?

Thanks for reading hope y'all can help me out!
