Help with heads,cam, and intake install..
91 Camaro RS 305 TBI
K, I have my heads all ready and started to yank off the old junk.
I have a set of headmen headers with Y-pipe I'm going to use for now. Since there is no AIR lines for them, So I do away with all my emissions junk under the hood? What do I do about the smog pump?
My new cam isn't a roller, Do I still need to use that valley piece that goes over all the lifters?
The heads I'm using are from a 96 350 with centerbolts. THey aren't LT1's, just standard centerbolts. I bought a set of 1.6 roller rockers from a friend. They are non-self aligning. He said they were the ones that NEED to be used with guide plates. Needless to say I don't have guide plates or intend to buy and install them, will they be fine?
How is my stock computer going to do for now will all the mods listed below? Will it run ok intil I get the stuff to make my own chips?

you either remove the air pump and use a shorter belt or leave it. don't need the spider, how you going ot install guide plates? you need to pull the studs, machine the casting tap the holes then put in screw in studs, gets pretty expensive to make a set of heads work and to freshen them up compared to buying a new set. WAG from the springs you list you'll need to get the spring seats enlarged too. if you swap from a roller to flat cam you'll need longer push rods too.
