L98 Going carbed?

Heres the deal, the car is an 87 L98 with the electronic dash, if I were to want to go carbed would any of my instruments work? What all is involved?

Thanks

Ok so forget the gauges, if I bought a new intake and carb would everything work? What all does the computer run?

if you switch to intake and carb, remember, you will need a new distributor too. Gotta have it. At that point the computer will not control anything. If you have an auto, you will need to do something about the converter lockup. A simple search here will yield all the answers to that problem though.
