i fouind another sensor

ok guys while swapin my 305 tbi for a carbed 350 i have found many sensors. this is wut i know, the one on the pass. head is for the fan, the one on the driver head is the temp guage, the one above the oilfilter is for the oil pressure guage, and the one on the frot of the manifold i don;t need cause i am takin out the computer, now this is my question- i found another sensor in the block on the pass. side. what does this do and do i need it when i tear out the computer? also one more question-on the back of the manifoldbehind the egr valve there is a little relay i guess, its bolts to a bracket that is bolted to the manifold. now do i need this or no and wut does it do?also with the little vacum thing rigth there do i nned this?one line goes to that black canister and i was gonna take that out is this ok? thanks

On the passenger side block is your knock sensor, you won't need it without a computer. On the manifold is the EGR solenoid, you won't need it if you get rid of EGR. It basically allows the computer to control the EGR valve. There's really not any reason to get rid of the fuel vapor canistor.

It keeps fuel vapors from your car from being released into the atmosphere, and keeps your car from smelling like gasoline. All it would need is vacuum from the carburetor.

You won't need to connect the 02 sensor to anything, but you might as well leave it there to plug the hole. The only other thing I can think of is the torque converter lockup switch. Have you figured out what you're doing with your fuel pump?
