305 to 305?

Ive seen a cheap 305 engine for sale, [i would like a 350 but you never find them here ] its out of an 1985 Iroc z and complete.
Its injected, so would all the stuff from my 83 carbed 305 fit?
Ive got an Edelbrock manifold, carb, Mallory dizzy, would things like the exhaust manifolds bolt right up?
In other words is it a fairly straight swap?
Thanks for any help, pointers or tips.

Everything should swap over without a problem. The shortblocks are basically the same. I would nab the cam out of the TPI motor though.

I got the impression the '85 engine was going in/under the '83 car/stuff.

Same question was asked on the Engine Swap forum, so we'll let the info collect on it (whatever else could be needed).
