I have an 83 and I swapped out the 305 for a 350 from a per 80's car. The oil dip stick was on the drivers side of the 350. I had to do work to the exhaust manifolds so I went to hedders and a new y pipe combo. Much simplier. Other then that every thing bolted up fine. Just take your time. I replaced motor mounts at this time too. What a PITB. Glad I did then.

Carb Will Swap, everything else wont. You will have to replace it all.

But, Since your getting a new Motor in its entirety, You should be allright.
