Which ones did you get? The 2055's (not in the paper catalog) have a y-pipe with a 3" slip-fit connection to the cat, which probably means you'll need a 3" cat to go to them, and probably some kind of adapter to the cat-back.
The 2460's don't have any y-pipe, and won't fit to your factory pipe. You'll have to get a y-pipe fabricated, in which case you might get something that will mount up to your current cat, but will be restrictive. You'll probably have other re-routing to do, like the A.I.R. hoses, but that's not too big a deal.

The best headers for our 305 TBI's are either the Edelbrock TES or the Hedman ones for 305 TBI's. Both are a bastard to install, but they're great. I think top top of the line would be Borla or SLP, but I didn't even investigate if they made headers for a 305 TBI. :P
