Welcome aboard thirdgen.org.

If I'm understanding you properly, you're asking if it it worth it to go from a carbureted engine, to an EFI LT1.

ABSOLUTELY!

Everything you need to look out for is documented in the LT1 swap sticky.

It will be worth it, no idea on what is different on Carb 3rd gens but I figure Fuel lines and Gas tank? Everything else should be a plain lt1 swap.

No in-tank electric fuel pump or relays, no in-line fuel filter, fuel lines different.

I converted two factory carb'd cars to LS1, for what that's worth.
